Ruth flew out to Tenerife each winter for a bit of sun (in the days when air travel was a lot more expensive). She taught herself Spanish and could speak it fairly well at a basic level. She had a glass-fronted cabinet in her house full of things she had brought back from her holidays: shells, samples of volcanic sand, pressed flowers, etc.

Ruth did not suffer fools gladly. One year, the family, including Ruth, visited a country fair in the New Forest. One of the attractions was a ride in a pony and trap. We paid the fare and got in, but the driver couldn't make the pony move. "Allow me", said Ruth, seizing the reins. The driver was obliged to get down, whereupon Ruth drove the trap round the field. It's very likely that she knew how to ride a horse - she wasn't at all shy around them.
According to family oral history, she was sent to finishing school in Lucerne, Switzerland. Unfortunately I have not been able to find any evidence for this.
