Flora in Dorothy Wordsworth's Grasmere Journal

17 July 2017
We walked to the Jerwood Center down a back road filled with all kinds of flora, fauna, quaint cottages, and meandering becks. It was all quite lovely. The weather was perfect. We picked raspberries alongside the road. The morning was spent getting acclimated to Dove Cottage and the Jerwood Center. We then began our first experience of “poetry in place,” walking to Mary’s Rock and Sarah’s Rock in the Bainrigg Woods for lunch and a poetry reading and discussion. We were back at the Jerwood Center to look at original manuscripts and first edition books in the afternoon, which was interrupted at the proper time by a most appropriate spot of tea and Grasmere gingerbread.
