...among them... Catkins are coming out; palm trees budding; the alder, with its plumb-coloured buds. We came home over the stepping-stones. The Lake [Grasmere] was foamy with white waves." Dorothy Wordsworth, 1801 (Westmorland) "Very wet. But quiet, and birds singing all sorts of delicate airs, richly, as if it were spring." John Ruskin, 1857 (Denmark Hill, Surrey) Such a grey and windy ...

... in Easedale, so we returned; but the moon came out, and opened to us the church and village. Helm Crag in shade, the large mountains dappled like a sky. We stayed long upon the bridge." Dorothy Wordsworth, 1801 (Westmorland) A really blow-y day, raggedy clouds all across my window. Walking to work in it was fun - I do love the wind, it makes the world feel alive ! Byslantedlight, 2009 (...

... bread. A fine clear frosty morning. We walked after dinner to Rydale village. Jupiter over the hilltops, the only star, like a sun, flashed out at intervals from behind a black cloud." Dorothy Wordsworth,1800 (Westmorland) "Thursday night, 1/4 after 7. The sky covered with stars; the wind up; right opposite my window, over Brandelhow... an enormous black cloud exactly in the shape of an egg - ...

... came that tossed about the leaves, and tore off the still green leaves of the ashes. ...The whole face of the country in a winter covering. We went early to bed."

The column of a rainbow arch sprung up out of Herefordshire from among the blue hills and golden oaks tipped with sunlight." Francis Kilvert, 1871...

...reading Amelia . The Michaelmas daisy droops, the pansies are full of flowers, the ashes opposite are green all but one, but they have lost many of their leaves. The copses are quite brown." Dorothy Wordsworth, 1800 (Westmorland) A gorgeous day today - all high blue skies and hopefulness! A little cold, but not too bad - though I was glad of my coat, and gloves for my fingers whilst we...

... Tarn, afterwards to the top of Seat Sandal. He was obliged to lie down in the tremendous wind. The snow blew Helvellyn horizontally like smoke - the spray of the unseenwaterfall like smoke." Dorothy Wordsworth, 1800 (Westmorland) "It is raining in torrents. The light is greenish and unnatural, objects being seen through water. A roar of rain in the plantation, and a rush near at hand, yet not ...

November Post

Dorothy Wordsworth, 1800 (Grasmere, Westmorland) "The full moon glided on behind a black cloud. And what then? Who cared?" S.T.

...(Hampshire) "It is a breathless, grey day, that leaves the golden woods of autumn quiet in their own tranquillity, stately and beautiful in their decaying; the lake is a perfect mirror." Dorothy Wordsworth, 1802 (Grasmere, Westmorland) "Glowing soft red clouds on blue." John Ruskin, 1870 (Denmark Hill, Surrey) A pink tinge to begin the day - quite red it looked, in fact, from my window...

Dorothy Wordsworth, 1800 (Westmorland) A gorgeous autumn morning to start, not even too cold, though there's a definite nip in the air now.
