Have posted you by ordinary mail the Sunday Times supplement of Churchill.  You may have seen it all but then again you may find something of interest.
I went down to Westminster Hall very early on the last day Friday.  Had no intention of going, but looked out of my window around 6 am,.  It was a frozen sight snowing, east wind, I thought on such a day hardly anyone will go, so now's the time to do it.  I was right.  I joined the queue at Lambeth Bridge this side & we walked quickly in fours to the door of Westminster Hall & then slowed up.  I did the whole thing in 3 hr, from getting off the bus to getting on again for home.  By then the weather was clearing a bit it had stopped snowing but of course bitterly cold so the crowds began again.  Will Churchill was not there.
