After walking about I had dinner & then went for a walk & ride round Moseley which is the fashionable quarter. Got back to town had tea & arrived at Station in good time to catch 5.45 pm train to Leicester. With a train at 7.48 from there I reached Bedford at 8.42.
On the station I met a Royal Engr. chap & thinking to arrange about a conveyance to Haynes Park asked if he were going to the Park. He said Yes & said he had two bikes would I ride one back. He had come to see his wife off to London. She had been visiting him & that accounted for the two bikes to go back. My luck was in and we soon arrived back in the village. He had to return the ladies bike so I went with him & were invited in for supper at the place Here we had a sing song & supper & a chat.
I at last arrived home finding my bed made as I had arranged with Joe Frost I had a good time this leave but disappointments slightly minimised my good time First Ernie Pynor's application for leave failed & I had to proceed alone & then Cadburys & munitions factorys were closed against me Anyway I had a good look at another town & found it as perplexing as London almost if not quite as busy.
