Wednesday 1st April Went early to Hartburngrainge, looked over the Farms and walked through the newly planted grounds - found one of the fences so insufficiently made that I caused it to be improved before being paid for. The planting is well done and the planting young Trees got from Wooler, the best we have had this season. I found that the Men who took the Coal have removed their apparatus & declined working, but not being within reach, I could not see them to ascertain the cause or their intentions. It may be that the Coal is bad & not worth working in the spot where they sank to, as they gave it out, or that having another Colliery in the neighbourhood, they wish to use only one establishment at present. Drove 40 miles northward. Thursday 2nd Proceeded to Wooler to join the meeting of the Glendale Agricultural Society, at which I had often in former times presided. Friday 3rd. Spent with my Family at Millfield Hill.
