It was a showery day, Revd Southern (Methodist) held service in the Hall in the afternoon, I attended. Afterwards I went up to the Charlie Wyatts for tea.

There were several showers during the day. Mr Macdonald called up here in the morning before we had finished breakfast, he had a look round the flower garden, Willie drove he & the Bishop down to the village, the Bishop was returning to Auckland by the “Kawau” this afternoon. Mrs Henry & Mr Macdonald returned to Warkworth. I went down to the village and helped clear the Hall and straighten the Church.

It was a very fine day. I went down to the village in the morning to trim the lamps in the Church and helping to prepare the Hall from the evening. The ladies were cutting sandwiches. After lunch Willie took the sulky down to the village and brought the Bishops up here for tea, Mrs John Greenwood was here to help Grace. All of us went down to the Church in the evening, the Church was dedicated by Bishop Averill, 6 persons were confirmed. The church could not contain the congregation, many had to stand outside. After the service the congregation were invited to adjourn to the Hall to welcome the Bishop. The ladies provided supper, speeches were made by the Bishop, Mr Macdonald & myself. The Bishop returned with us to stay the night. The people of this district who were at the service this evening were very much impressed with the Bishop’s address and it will be a pleasant memory to them.

It was a disagreeable day, raining, thundering and hail stones. I went down to the village in the afternoon to get the mail and attend the Library.

It was a fine day. Willie finished digging the piece of ground below the house. I was fixing up the WC. In the afternoon I went down to the village, I arranged the seats in the Church for the dedication. Mr Woods sent up by the steamer the Font and Desk for the Church, I got it brought up & put it inside.

It was helping Willie dig the piece of ground below the house. There was a heavy shower of rain in the pm accompanied with heavy Thunder.

It was a showery day but the wind has changed to SW.

I returned home in the morning, in the pm I planted 25 Lettuce plants in the farm orchard and got firewood.

It was a very wet day. Wind blowing strong from NE. Revd Mather should have held service in the Claim hall in the afternoon, but on account of the weather there was no service. It went to call at Mr Sadlers in the pm.

It was a fine day. Willie finished ploughing in this orchard. I was working in the flower garden. Went down to the steamer in the pm. Also in the evening to the choir practice. Mr Roose, traveller for Bridgman called when we were having dinner, I gave him a small order.
