This is Emma Pike, Dot’s father’s mother  – and wife of Bert Cousens. Spoke about her to Jessie (Dot’s aunt) on Saturday and found that her father was Walter Pike and her mother Susannah Lusher from Swaffham. Susannah’s father was a publican, apparently. Emma had three sisters and four brothers: Nelly, Lily, Daisy, Ernest, Robert, Edward and Lacy. All of them were probably born in Suffield, but I will have to do some research on it.

Now we’re waiting for Dot’s car window to be replaced so that we can fetch the car and then leave in the other car for Yorkshire, where we hope to spend the next six or seven days. The window was smashed on Saturday night by some yob, probably local. However, it’s not unknown for away supporters to take it out on the locals when their team gets beaten, and we’re not too far from Carrow Road. Didn’t hear anything, though the car was outside our bedroom window. Nothing taken, but Autoglass say a crowbar was used.

Tim Mace will be staying here while we’re away. Beautiful day today, but forecast is for rain, of course.
