Thu. 9th May
Ascension Thursday. Go to church in the village with the Colonel and Captns Mingo and Lucas. A splendid morning. The limes are in full bloom and "Unter den Linden" (the road approaching the village) is now a leafy arcade.

The church is of mellow yellowed brick, spired, and stands in the centre of a large cobbled Marktplatz. Service like High Anglican – a good choir and organ.
