I thought I should add this because it could be a useful question for the next step in your search, as it might be interesting to find out why was the Clinker given to Angela specifically in the summer of 1928 and not before, as by the look of it Virginia and
Nessa spoke in Feb of 1928 about giving Clinker to Angela that summer. There might not be any special reason for that, yet perhaps also there could be. </div>

It’s just something that springs to my mind, as it could be useful to look up.</div>

You see, I wasn't totally satisfied with my morning research as I couldn't tell you anything about the beautiful, fluffy Clinker. You said you looked through diaries and letter (I chose to totally ignored that, even though you told me). On the Tate photograph
of Clinker (year 1933) it says it was given to Angelica Bell by Vita Nicholsons.</div>

Your research leads you to late 1920s. Well, Vita met Virginia in late 1922, so that would be too early. I went ahead and typed word "Clinker" in Woolf's "The Complete Collection". </div>
