London - Winchester - Salisbury
Ther. [Thermometer] MON. [Monday] AUG. 16, 1909 [August 16, 1909] Wea. [Weather]
Cloudy.
Cloudy with short intervals of fine
rain in P.M. Comfortably cool.
  We left London at 9.20 from Waterloo
Station & reached Winchester about 11.30.
Went at once to Cathedral & were taken
all over it by a verger. Its beauty &
impressiveness thrilled me even more than
in 1891. The choir were rehearsing & their 
voices with the notes of the fine organ added
greatly to the effect it had on my emotions.
  We lunched at the "George" & took an
afternoon train for Salisbury arriving about
5.30 & putting up at the Colony Hotel.
In the fields along the railroad I saw
as usual innumerable numbers of birds
including thousands of Rooks & Starlings &
about 50 Lapwings. Heather, tansy, yarrow,
Queen Anne's Lace, hawkweed etc. in bloom.
  In the smoking room of our inn I met
this evening two officers in the regular army
who invited me to attend a show fight tomorrow.

Ther. [Thermometer] TUES. [Tuesday] AUG. 17, 1909 [August 17, 1909] Wea. [Weather] 
Stormy
Cloudy with heavy rain in
afternoon & evening.
  To Cathedral in forenoon.
Shopping in afternoon buying a
bell, an old picture & some brass
hooks & knockers.
  The little river that flows past
our inn has crystal-clear water
only two or three feet in depth.
One can see hundreds of fish
from 1/4 pound to 3 pounds in weight
lying near the stony bottom. The
large ones are Trout, the smaller 
Grayling & Dace. One Englishman
was casting a fly over there from
a punt for freely an hour this morning.
He did not get a single [?]
while I watched him. He cast
with exquisite ease & grace.
