Flora in Dorothy Wordsworth's Grasmere Journal

18 July 2017
We made our usual backroads trek to the Jerwood Center. Most of this day was spent in the archives discussing the Prelude. Stephen Bainbridge and Jeff Cowton led the discussion in the afternoon. At the end of the day we walked to John’s Wood to get familiar with the area where I was to lead a poetry in place discussion the following day. The large beech trees were inspiriting, although there were fir trees in the wood when the Wordsworths walked there. After our walk back to the hostel and supper, we walked up on the Fairfield fells as the sun went down.
