Flora in Dorothy Wordsworth's Grasmere Journal

19 July 2017
We spent the morning with Professor Sally Bushell discussing the poem “Michael,” and in the afternoon we walked (a rather sturdy walk) up Greenhead-Gill to visit an unfinished sheepfold similar to the one Wordsworth describes in his poem. Professor Sally Bushell lead us in our “poetry in place” discussion of “Michael.” I observed harebells, heather, mosses, and other unidentified flowers along the way. We had fish and chips supper at The Traveller’s Rest Inn, an historic inn that was in existence in Wordsworth’s day. In fact, it has been a pub for more than 500 years.
