too bad that a few boys should be allowed to interfere with the fun of others. Starting to rain as we reached McDonald House corner.
Wednesday Sept. 29th.
Went down town in the Morning for meat. Quite cool & rather cloudy. At 10.20 a.m. Mr. Bell called and Charles (got him at office) Mr & Mrs. Bell, Jean and I started for Southampton. It was quite windy and rather cool driving over. Dined at the hotel. After dinner we went down to beach. The lake was great - green in spots - deep blue in others - White-Capped and great breakers rolling in. We called on Mrs. McGorman who was canning fish and explained the process for us. Nearly all the cottages are shut-up and I fancy she must be lonely in these grey days. We left Jean with her and Mr. Bell, Mrs. Bell Charles and I walked the whole length of the beach
