After a leisurely morning, Isobel came with me while I gave Euan a lift to Gravesend. We did not see Iona today as she was suffering from a tummy bug. We had lunch and watched the German Grand Prix before Dallas and Mike arrived from Milton Keynes. We all went down to Hall Place where Isobel enjoyed a cream tea. We went into the gardens afterwards but Isobel could only manage to walk about a hundred yards to the nearest bench. She still prefers to make a big effort to walk herself, rather than being pushed in a wheelchair.

Dallas and Mike stayed for about an hour after we went home. Isobel had a large curry for her evening meal. Afterwards she was tired and went to lie on the bed at about nine o'clock.
