9 April, 1911

Blizzard! A huge crack opened in the ice. As soon as we got a north wind the ice moved out. It shows how risky it is to travel on such young ice. It is clear that the ponies shall have to come back at a much later date.

We need the weather to be in our favour for once. Just when we get ahead it seems to pull us back in.

I wonder if London is sunny today. If the daffodils are out and the birds are singing.
