Diary Of A Provincial Lady, Chapter 7

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, our narrator throws a New Years' Day tea party for her children, which she finds utterly exhausting and fraught with unforeseen difficulties, although the actual tea itself goes swimmingly. It is January 1st, 1930.

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.
