Alby is now focusing on upgrading trains and expanding networks in Oxfordshire. Clemence has taken on more responsibility at the Bodleian Library, spearheading a project to preserve rare manuscripts amid fears of political unrest in Europe. Their home remains a vibrant hub of intellectual activity.
Cosmo studies mechanical engineering at Cambridge University. He's also fascinated by aviation and has begun designing experimental aircraft in his spare time. Sophronia is an avid reader and can often be found poring over the books Clemence brings home. She showed an early talent for languages, delighting her parents with her translations of Latin and French poetry.
During his second year at Cambridge, Cosmo met a Bath-born architecture student with a sharp mind, elegant manner and a penchant for sketching cityscapes. Recently engaged, the couple are already planning their future. Cosmo dreams of developing transport technology, while his fiancée envisions designing airports and railway stations that are both efficient and beautiful.
Dunstan's reputation as an architect continued to grow. He's commissioned to design a new chapel for a country estate. Helen has expanded her social work to include advocacy for families fleeing the continent. Frederick is a serious and thoughtful boy with a talent for drawing. He often helps Dunnie with preliminary sketches, although he dreams of becoming a composer one day.
Dunstan and Helen's second child was born in 1931. She is a lively, inquisitive child who shares her mother's fiery determination. Freddie is fiercely protective of his little sister.
Dorothea and Rosalind's home in Hampstead has become a haven for artists. Dorothea's music has become increasingly experimental, blending classical structures with modernist flourishes, while Rosalind's acting career has flourished on London stages. Their shared social circle includes painters, poets and playwrights, making their gatherings as eclectic as they are lively.
Libby and Teddy have settled into married life in London, where Libby works at Kew Gardens, cataloguing plant specimens brought back from expeditions. Teddy, now a lecturer in botany, is often away on research trips, but writes faithfully to Libby and their daughter. Eudora inherited her parents' love of nature, and her favourite pastime was planting flowers in their garden. A second child was born to the couple in 1933.
Harry has moved to Manchester, where he works for a car manufacturer experimenting with aerodynamics. His work attracted attention and he was invited to lecture on technical advances. In 1933 he married Sappho, now the editor of a prominent travel magazine.
The couple often took weekend trips to explore the British countryside, where Sappho wrote and Harry sketched mechanical devices inspired by the landscape. They welcomed their first child in 1934. Sappho balanced motherhood and writing with grace, often writing articles with her daughter on her lap.
Brosie's art is gaining recognition in London galleries. His abstract works have come to reflect the unease of the times, and critics hail him as one of Britain's most promising modern painters. Mena works as an art restorer, preserving works damaged by age or neglect.
Rufus is a curious and lively boy who loves to accompany his father to the galleries and his mother to the restoration studio. He already showed an interest in sculpture, making fantastic creatures out of clay. They welcomed their second child in 1935. Always resourceful, Mena sewed her children's clothes herself.
Saffron has finally left Islington for Brighton, where she writes columns and short stories for a literary magazine. Her stories - imaginative, adventurous and witty - are attracting a growing readership. Ronnie still visits home often, entertaining her parents with tales of seaside life and the eccentric artists she's befriended.
Myrtle maintains a lush garden, while Edric enjoys telling railway stories to his grandchildren. They host Sunday lunches which bring the family together and fill the house with laughter and warmth.
Over dinner, the family discuss the worrying developments in Germany, with Alby and Clemence particularly concerned about the implications for Europe.
