Particularly lovely day.

Went to Church at 11.
At 1 ― saw rooms at the Hotel S. George. At 2, to Sir C. Sargents ― (where was Count G. Henckel,) & then walked with Sir C.S. to Εὐροποῦλι ― wonderfully lovely view thence.
Dined at Mr. & Mrs. Decies ― very pleasant young Luard there.
Returned at 10.30.
