…We dined on a sheep’s head and pluck boiled, some broiled herrings, turnips and potatoes. In the afternoon Thomas Davy carried my wife down to Mr Sam Gibbs’s, he having a son baptised today, and my wife and I were both invited to the christening. And about 7:40 I went (in company with Joseph Durrant). My wife and I supped at Mr Gibbs’s, on a turkey roasted, 3 roast teal, a roast chine and 4 boiled chickens, a cold venison pasty, gooseberry and bouillis pie and a cold ham (in company with Mr and Mr Coates, Mr and Mrs Porter, Joseph Fuller and his wife, Thomas Fuller and his wife, Mr French and his wife, Mr Calverley, Joseph Durrant and his wife, Mr Hurdis and Mr Joseph Gibbs, Mr Francis Gibbs and his wife, Thomas Page and his wife, Mr Goldsmith and Mr Whitfield). We came home about 3:50, pretty indifferent, though not sober. My wife played at brag in the evening; she lost 6½d. We gave the nurse and servant 12d. Lent Mr Calverley in cash 5/-.
