Sunday,
October
12th.--Sate
in
the
house
writing
in
the
morning
while
Wm.
went
into
the
wood
to
compose.
Wrote
to
John
in
the
morning;
copied
poems
for
the
L.
B.
In
the
evening
wrote
to
Mrs.
Rawson.
Mary
Jameson
and
Sally
Ashburner
dined.
We
pulled
apples
after
dinner,
a
large
basket
full.
We
walked
before
tea
by
Bainriggs
to
observe
the
many-coloured
foliage.
The
oaks
dark
green
with
yellow
leaves,
the
birches
generally
still
green,
some
near
the
water
yellowish,
the
sycamore
crimson
and
crimson-tufted,
the
mountain
ash
a
deep
orange,
the
common
ash
lemon-colour,
but
many
ashes
still
fresh
in
their
peculiar
green,
those
that
were
discoloured
chiefly
near
the
water.
Wm.
composing
in
the
evening.
Went
to
bed
at
12
o'clock.
Monday,
October
13th.--A
grey
day.
Mists
on
the
hills.
We
did
not
walk
in
the
morning.
I
copied
poems
on
the
Naming
of
Places.
A
fair
at
Ambleside.
Walked
in
the
Black
Quarter
at
night.
Wednesday.--A
very
fine
clear
morning.
After
Wm.
had
composed
a
little,
I
persuaded
him
to
go
into
the
orchard.
We
walked
backwards
and
forwards.
The
prospect
most
divinely
beautiful
from
the
seat;
all
colours,
all
melting
into
each
other.
I
went
in
to
put
bread
in
the
oven,
and
we
both
walked
within
view
of
Rydale.
Wm.
again
composed
at
the
sheepfold
after
dinner.
I
walked
with
Wm.
to
Wytheburn,
and
he
went
on
to
Keswick.
I
drank
tea,
and
supped
at
Mr.
Simpson's.
A
very
cold
frosty
air
in
returning.
Mr.
and
Miss
S.
came
with
me.
Wytheburn
looked
very
wintry,
but
yet
there
was
a
foxglove
blossoming
by
the
roadside.
