Diary Of A Provincial Lady, Chapter 2

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, dear old school friend Cissie Crabbe invites herself to stay, and makes the catering difficult by being on a strict diet.

This gentle story of the daily ups and downs of domestic life has also been compared with George Grossmith's Diary of a Nobody, available narrated by me in Free Tracks.
