MAY 20

It’s nearly the end of the holidays and my secret mission has failed so far. I wasn’t going to write about it in here but I’ve changed my mind. I want this to be a true record of the year, so when I’m an old grandmother (Mrs Fallon-White?) I can read it and see what I was really like, what I was thinking about and feeling.

Four times these holidays (today was the fourth) I’ve taken a no. 8 bus (no. 18 from Dad’s flat) to Mercer, and sat in the milk bar diagonally opposite 61 Dobson Road, and taken as long as mortally possible to eat a sandwich and drink a coffee, while I watched, hoping to see them. I saw Mrs Aston once, going in, but no sign of Miranda. I’d recognise her if I saw her.

It’s frustrating that I don’t know the truth about Mrs Aston and Dad. I just want to know. I think I’d know if I saw Miranda.

Now I’ll have to make sure I hide this Journal extra well for the rest of the holidays. Mum’d be so upset if she found I’d been there, looking for them.
