Loved learning all about the history of Grasmere School this afternoon as it welcomed the village in to celebrate being 400 years old! Particularly interesting seeing all the old school records (1860s shown here) and the scrap book from the centenary of Wordsworth’s death (1950). Village life.

What way does the wind come? What way does he go? He rides over the water, and over the snow, Through wood, and through vale; and o’er rocky height, Which the goat cannot climb, takes his sounding flight... - Address to A Child During A Boisterous Winter Evening by Dorothy Wordsworth

A dusting of snow in Grasmere. Great to see hardy book browsers welcoming in January with new reading.

Twelfth day. Mikle woke us up to tell us there was a thin icing of snow in the garden but by the time we were all up it was half rained away. A different story beyond the vale though, especially north of the raise, so we're staying in and keeping cosy. #TwelveDaysOfChristmas

@kerriandrewsuk.bsky.social gave Nan Shepherd the attention her writing deserves on Tuesday for University of Cumbria's final Cultural Landscapes talk of 2024, a marvellous evening ✨✨✨
