VARIED EXPERIENCES IN YEAR ABROAD A year of remarkable diversity was the experience of Mrs I. D. Blair, who returned with her husband on Tuesday from Australia and Britain. After several months in a Hertfordshire village Mrs Blair set up house at Cambridge and later in Edinburgh. Aberdeen and London. From these centres she was able to obtain an appreciation of life in Britain to-day and also enjoy such experiences as the Cambridge May Week, Edinburgh Festival and the events of the London season, including a Palace garden party. Mrs Blair lived with a Dutch family during the full glory of the tulip and hyacinth flowering in Holland and later visited Paris and Switzerland. Mrs Blair left England with her one-month-old son. who was the “youngest immigrant” on the Strathnaver during its voyage to Australia. Her other two children had remained in Christchurch during their mother’s absence. Mrs Blair and her family expect soon to live at Lincoln College.
