HIS DAYSpending a 'peaceful & almost solitary day' (based on his letter from the previous day, Monday, Jan 18, anticipating this). Recuperating from a weekend visit by Winston Churchill, Clementine Churchill, and others. Likely preparing to return to London (he wrote on Wednesday, Jan 20, that he had made a 'muddle' of his weekend and should have stayed at Walmer until Thursday, implying an earlier return)
