1802
"After dinner we walked to Rydale for letters - it was terribly cold - we had 2 or 3 brisk hail showers - the hail stones looked clean and pretty upon the dry clean road. Little Peggy Simpson was standing at the door catching the hail stones in her hand."
Dorothy Wordsworth, 1802 (Westmorland)

2009

A misted world to start with, and I wished I'd been up early enough to go for a walk, and see if it was as hushed as it looked... ...but coming home an hour early I at least found that dusk had waited for me, and was clouded, a little suppressed, and pervasively quiet...

2011

The sun has tried to come out a few times today, but was ovecome again and again by skies of whited cloud...


It's a little more cheering to see the May blossom beginning to show itself - and there are daffs out too...
