My birthday and up about the same old time and then going with George to do some errands and then out to Victoria docks, and such a dreadful place. We got back about two thirty and Miss and Mrs. Ames called and stayed about an hour. Mrs. Wells gave me a bottle of the famous shamrock perfume, and George gave me two pounds. In the evening we went to see Sarah Bernhardt, a wonderful actress. weather fair.
note the shoes

I just love this Suki! She looks so wistful and pensive. I wonder if she liked living in London... Yes, love those shoes! :) How wonderful that someone snapped that photo of her, and that you have her diary! OMG... I have done genealogy on my family lines and it would be incredible to have found a diary! My grandmother turned 11 in 1916, the same year that her mother died of TB at the age of 43 in a TB sanitarium in Lynn, Mass.
what a treasure having your Grandmothers diary. Love the shoes. I have some boots very similar. You know what they say what comes around goes around.
What a treat to have this photo and her diary. Sounds about how my diary/journals sound..Fun to see how others lived long ago not being so so different from us years later. Maybe not quite so formal now. :)
Suki how awesome that you have such a precious gift, your grandmother's diary. That is a fabulous picture, I love black and white.
A truly wonderful memory - both the photo and words! And yes....the first thing I noticed were her boots! I, too, have a pair very similar!
A-ha-ha!
To think she saw Sarah Bernhardt.....wow...

I love everything about this. The large book on the floor, most likely a dictionary? The typewriter on the table, and mostly how much you look like her!
Wow, to hold her diary in your hands and read her written words. Priceless.
Wow.

Lo♥
The shoes were the first thing I noticed! Very precious item you have there. Wonderful glimpse into part of your own history.
Oh the boots were the very first thing I noticed! That and the big rocker. Her look too, so confident. Love the writing style, they came to call.
I love the typewriter too. and i do look so much like gram. however, i think i look so much like my mom even though she always said i didnt.
Suki, How wonderful! How priceless to have her diary. I love everything about this photo and you do look like her. xoxo
I agree...priceless to have this written connection. I like the way she is sitting and of course..her boots.
