Diary Of A Provincial Lady, Chapter 5

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, a stray kitten gets adopted, and our narrator goes to London for a couple of days to stay with dear friend Rose and do her Christmas shopping. The train journey up to London, however, is not without incident, due mainly to a large and unruly bunch of chrysanthemums.

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

Perfect tale for this crazy times. Makes me feel how the ordinary is extraordinary. Thanks Mandy 🙏🏻

Now I’ve started to listen to this one at least 5 times! Finally made it through, but I dozed off in the middle for a moment. I think I got the gist! Thank you Mandy!!
