On the second page is the inscription 'Gay's Daybook, given to her by Rita, 13th July, 1986'. Pages are unnumbered, the notebook has entries at both ends and some pages are blank. The notebook originally belonged to Greer's close friend Gay Clifford whose diary entries fill the first few pages. Gay was unwell at the time and as such her handwriting is barely legible. In these entries Gay records basic observations such as the weather and documents some of her frustrations with her illness. After these entries from Gay, Greer began to use the notebook. Greer took notes from David Hey's book 'The History of Myddle' and wrote lists of plants that she would like to include in her garden at The Mills. Loose in the notebook: 1 plant sample [flower] and a piece of yellow paper with publisher Carmen Callil's letterhead and contact details.
