Tuesday,
27th.--I
walked
to
Ambleside
with
letters
...
only
a
letter
from
Coleridge.
I
expected
a
letter
from
Wm.
It
was
a
sweet
morning,
the
ashes
in
the
valley
nearly
in
full
leaf,
but
still
to
be
distinguished,
quite
bare
on
the
higher
ground....
Wednesday.--In
the
morning
walked
up
to
the
rocks
above
Jenny
Dockeray's.
Sate
a
long
time
upon
the
grass;
the
prospect
divinely
beautiful.
If
I
had
three
hundred
pounds,
and
could
afford
to
have
a
bad
interest
for
my
money,
I
would
buy
that
estate,
and
we
would
build
a
cottage
there
to
end
our
days
in.
I
went
into
her
garden
and
got
white
and
yellow
lilies,
etc.,
periwinkle,
etc.,
which
I
planted.
Sate
under
the
trees
with
my
work.
Worked
between
7
and
8,
and
then
watered
the
garden.
A
beautiful
evening.
The
crescent
moon
hanging
above
Helm
Crag.
Thursday.--In
the
morning
worked
in
the
garden
a
little.
Read
King
John.
Miss
Simpson,
and
Miss
Falcon,
and
Mr.
S.
came
very
early.
Went
to
Mr.
Gill's
boat.
Before
tea
we
fished
upon
the
lake,
and
amongst
us
caught
13!...
Friday.--In
the
morning
went
to
Ambleside,
forgetting
that
the
post
does
not
come
till
the
evening.
How
was
I
grieved
when
I
was
so
informed.
I
walked
back,
resolving
to
go
again
in
the
evening.
It
rained
very
mildly
and
sweetly
in
the
morning
as
I
came
home,
but
came
on
a
wet
afternoon
and
evening,
and
chilly.
I
caught
Mr.
Olliff's
lad
as
he
was
going
for
letters.
He
brought
me
one
from
Wm.
and
12
papers.
I
planted
London
Pride
upon
the
wall,
and
many
things
on
the
borders.
John
sodded
the
wall.
As
I
came
past
Rydale
in
the
morning,
I
saw
a
heron
swimming
with
only
its
neck
out
of
water.
It
beat
and
struggled
amongst
the
water,
when
it
flew
away,
and
was
long
in
getting
loose.
