In which Lottie does a spot of cooking, visits Swan And Edgars, the Criterion and Frascati's and heads off to Sidmouth after the easter weekend.  She picks primroses and Glen buys her a stick.

In which Glen easily supplants Martin in Lottie’s affections. The voyage home to England continues and, when she arrives, the shopping begins in earnest. She has a jolly good piece of seed cake.

"Doo and I feel blue and Martin, too." - In which our heroine visits Cape Town and Durban, manicures her (first) gentleman friend, tries her hand at surfing  and takes drinks at the hooligans' table onboard the City of Palermo. Parfaits feature.

In which we meet our heroine, Lottie, as she begins her 1930 diary at home in North Finchley. Before the end of the month she has taken her big trip (with her sister Doo and her mother), embarked on a whirlwind romance and introduced us to the adjective "gumpy".
