18
4th.--Walked
a
great
part
of
the
way
to
Stowey
with
Coleridge.
The
morning
warm
and
sunny.
The
young
lasses
seen
on
the
hill-tops,
in
the
villages
and
roads,
in
their
summer
holiday
clothes--pink
petticoats
and
blue.
Mothers
with
their
children
in
arms,
and
the
little
ones
that
could
just
walk,
tottering
by
their
side.
Midges
or
small
flies
spinning
in
the
sunshine;
the
songs
of
the
lark
and
redbreast;
daisies
upon
the
turf;
the
hazels
in
blossom;
honeysuckles
budding.
I
saw
one
solitary
strawberry
flower
under
a
hedge.
The
furze
gay
with
blossom.
The
moss
rubbed
from
the
pailings
by
the
sheep,
that
leave
locks
of
wool,
and
the
red
marks
with
which
they
are
spotted,
upon
the
wood.
5th.--Walked
to
Stowey
with
Coleridge,
returned
by
Woodlands;
a
very
warm
day.
In
the
continued
singing
of
birds
distinguished
the
notes
of
a
blackbird
or
thrush.
The
sea
overshadowed
by
a
thick
dark
mist,
the
land
in
sunshine.
The
sheltered
oaks
and
beeches
still
retaining
their
brown
leaves.
Observed
some
trees
putting
out
red
shoots.
Query:
What
trees
are
they?
6th.--Walked
to
Stowey
over
the
hills,
returned
to
tea,
a
cold
and
clear
evening,
the
roads
in
some
parts
frozen
hard.
The
sea
hid
by
mist
all
the
day.
7th.--Turned
towards
Potsdam,
but
finding
the
way
dirty,
changed
our
course.
Cottage
gardens
the
object
of
our
walk.
Went
up
the
smaller
Coombe
to
Woodlands,
to
the
blacksmith's,
the
baker's,
and
through
the
village
of
Holford.
Still
misty
over
the
sea.
The
air
very
delightful.
We
saw
nothing
very
new,
or
interesting.
