Diary Of A Provincial Lady, Chapter 12
by Mandy Sutter
Diary of a Provincial Lady, published nearly a hundred years ago by E M Delafield, is a direct ancestor of Bridget Jones' Diary. In tonight's episode, there's a wedding to contend with and our narrator is picked up by the Vicar's Wife in a car with dodgy headlights to give a speech at the local W.I. She is warned not to make her speech too funny as the Secretary is on the verge of a heart attack. Fans of The Enchanted April will be delighted to hear a little reference to Elizabeth von Arnim during this episode. This gentle story of the daily ups and downs of domestic life has been compared with George Grossmith's Diary of a Nobody, also available narrated by me in Free Tracks.
