The morning was certainly cooler. We were busy all the morning as it was children�s day.

I made Stuart a cowboy suit in brown and yellow crepe paper. All the children�s costumes were really good. It was a hard job for the judges to decide the winners.

After the parade there were games and then the party. This was a grand affair. There were bunches of balloons, flags and streamers all round the dining room � it looked a picture. A lovely fancy hat and crackers for each child were on their plates. In the centre of the room was a nicely decorated table with two huge cakes, each bearing the words �Happy Times On The Maloja�. The small cakes were glorious � some were iced and some were like swans. There was some bread baked in the shape of a snake with its head up. Jellies, blancmanges and ice cream were in great demand. There were more adults than children. We had great fun with the balloons.

It had been a hectic day, and at 9.30 pm I was falling asleep, so I had an early night.
