Dearest Diary,
I have made vows of a similar nature in the past, but I have begun once again to ponder the purchase of an estate of my own in the coming months. I have visited two this afternoon which show great promise. I shall hopefully be privy to additional information in the coming days. Additionally, I shall be acquiring some new stationery very soon for the correspondence I depend upon greatly. In only a fortnight I may be on my way again to the large lake regions in the north of the country in order to visit with a most beloved sister. As for the establishment of physical fitness we have discovered some alternative options that may not be quite as costly to one's pocketbook. I am in the sort of mood which feels as though there is very little to disappoint. It's a wonder I do not have an abundance of more energy this evening. Nevertheless there is much excitement on the morrow...

Dearest Diary,
I am compelled by the remarks of other school teachers like myself to declare how elated I am at the promise of such a year. I anticipate great joy amongst my schoolchildren and am eager to share many adventures with them in the coming months. I cannot ignore the aches that I endure presently having not been on my feet quite as much in previous weeks, but I have not felt as healthy and happy in quite some time, as I do at this very moment. With so many fortuitous habits returning to my every day, I cannot seem to keep my feet aground. It shall be quite the journey.
On the other hand, the eldest Miss Lindsay and our mother have arrived safely in the lake regions of the country and have begun to settle in to the cooler climates. I envy such breezes and colours as they pray witness to in that bit of the country. It is with hopeful petition that I gaze heavenward this season of the year. I cannot help but desire the same brisk air for my afternoon walks about the grounds.
Nevertheless, it has become necessary that one ought to weigh anchor very soon, for the day I've encountered has somewhat kept me quite afloat. Perhaps it is time to come down. At least for the sake of tomorrow...

Dearest Diary,
I must first and foremost apologize. It seems that in my folly, I have been away for a fortnight and you've heard nothing from me. Do not regard this as an indiscretion but a mere absence of insignificance. The fall lessons begin on the morrow and it seemed imeperative that I take a short respite from the task at hand. I am once again yours and shall not deter from this particular diary very soon.
That being said I must keep you abreast of all that has transpired since last we spoke. Our summer guest had to away just yesterday for the very great lake regions in the north of the country. I was beside myself with anguish, but I am assured that she will not be away for long. In this side of a year, she will likely be once again in the peninsula.
I am told that Grandmother's health is on the rise and this is news of a most fantastic nature. As for the schoolchildren, I anticipate an exceedingly enjoyable year. I have not as of yet been convinced otherwise. There are certainly new acquaintances to establish and routines to settle back into. Not the least of which are my walking engagements in the afternoon. I should not like to undo what I have worked enormously hard to accomplish. Such excursions shall resume on the morrow.
Now for the topic of gentlemen. You have heard me declare on numerous occasions how eager I am to meet the sort that I might deem honourable enough for my hand. And while that remains true, I have encountered some reassurance in my own independence. I do not value it so much so as to reject a gentlemen caller, but I am rather confident in my ability to function without the aid of such a companion. I even took it upon myself to make adjustments to my own phaeton. And I was quite successful at it.
Nevertheless, I cannot hide my affinity for the masculine race. I should hope that I might make one's acquaintance quite soon. Even perhaps on the morrow...

Dearest Diary,
It has never been my intention to abandon you to silence, but I have found myself in the midst of travels that have made it difficult to write. I am delighted to report on the good health of my beloved Grandmother and I have since continued north toward the expansive lakes on our country's border. We have located a modest castle for Sister to reside in and have made pilgrimage to some of the more frequented resting spots of the area. At a pertinent break in our journey we made the effort to walk out toward the shore of the great lake but along our walk we encountered many animal prints that seemed to get larger and perhaps more fresh the further into the wilderness we got. Very soon we found ourselves fleeing briskly back toward the carriage, suspicious of any noise or rattling from the bushes encasing us on both sides. It is quite probable that we were in no danger at all, but being unacquainted with the sorts of animals that reside in this region we had decided not to take further chances. We have been warned that it might have been a bear, a wolf, or perhaps something even more ferocious. Needless to say, our safety was regained quite easily.
Following such intrigue, we paused again at a large market specializing in the sorts of crafts one sees frequently in the advent time of year. I cannot help but be thrust in such a spirit after attending such festive landmarks. We have stopped to rest for the night at a Spanish Inn just south of the northern state border. I am hopeful that tomorrow's travels return me safely to the Granada Estate, but it is uncertain when such a return can be expected. It might need to wait longer than tomorrow...

Dearest Diary,
Again I am writing to you in the morning hours as I have only just awakened at an Inn slightly north of my county of residence. Upon our return in the early hours of yesterday's morning we were advised of the ill health of a most beloved Grandmother. In a matter of hours we were packed again and on our way. This shall make our nightly visits somewhat more difficult, but I promise to keep you abreast of any pertinent news or information. It seems that somewhere along our journey, Grandmother Lindsay has shown signs of improvement. I pray that the urgency is not what it was, but I am eager to be near to her side.
And it has come to pass that the eldest Miss Lindsay shall indeed be leaving the county in a fortnight to in order to take up residence near the vast lakes in the north of the country. I do not wish to see her go, but I am again filled with excitement at the chance of visiting such a region. I am told they receive a tremendous amount of snow each year. We have grown unaccustomed to such weather. It will create such delight I hope.
With any good fortune, I shall see you again on the morrow...
