  reading the Grantham Journal, smoking

  + watching the beetles. There are a large

  number of these round my "summer seat"

  Some of them fly in to say "How do"

  while other crawl quickly out of the

  grass + as quickly disappear. A few

  just pop their heads round a blade

  of grass, nod + disappear. The

  cock chaffer is clumsy + drops down

  through the leaves + branches when

  he forgets his weight, or miscalculates

  a distance. There are quite a number

  of birds about whistling as hard as

  they can go + taking no notice of

  the noise of the guns or the planes

  overhead. On the other side of the

  wood I hardly saw any but this

  was perhaps because there were too

  many men about. I can just see

  the Hindenburg Line by looking
