#OnThisDay in 1831, #DorothyWordsworth writes: 'Dark, warm. Small rain—'
The mild winter weather she records in 1831 is a stark contrast to this December! Still reports of increase in pandemics though, just to give continuity.

Dec 6 1831. This month has come in very gently—indeed ever since the frost the air has been mild—Sunday warm & spring-like [...] No April day could be finer [...] Reports of increase of Cholera—Our precautions going on—white washing &c &c.

@for_every_helen @WordsworthGras Last year we used #DecemberWithDorothy so you can find some things she got up to there too! ☺️
Other #NewYearsEve days are less cheery:

Dorothy describes how she and the children were pushed on the ice: 'William and George Hutchinson pushed us along in their skates on the ice (Grasmere Water is entirely frozen over) and we carried the children on our knees' .
#DW250 #DecemberWithDorothy #IceSkating
In 1805, #DorothyWordsworth writes to her friend Catherine Clarkson about #IceSkating on #Grasmere on #NYE:
'The day before New Year's day was one of the most delightful days that ever was felt we were all taking our pleasure upon the ice.'

How do you feel about snowy winter weather? #DorothyWordsworth loved the look of snow and frost, but knew how dangerous it could be, and as she got older became worried about the effect of the cold on her own health.

This weather is charming for the young & strong—Moonlight & at Christmas used to be delightful, 30 years ago. I now enjoy a short, sharp walk in the garden, and a peep out of doors, on the Evergreens and sunshine, from a warm fire-side.

#OnThisDay, 1834, #DorothyWordsworth catches up after illness:
On Xmas day I was languid though pains less violent & less frequent – and now this day i.e. Sunday Decr 27th
I am much better, & now write on my chair after ¾ of an hour’s sitting up.

The fiddlers #BoxingDay visit was a #ChristmasTradition Dorothy records in a letter in 1805:
'According to annual custom, our Grasmere Fidler is going his rounds, and all the children of the neighbouring houses are assembled in the kitchen to dance.'
#DW250 #DecemberWithDorothy
#OnThisDay, 1832, #DorothyWordsworth's brother Christopher leaves #Rydal after a #XmasVisit:
Dec 26th. The Fiddlers went their Round—Found me awake—My dear Brother left us at a little past 11 and I had not heart to rise till near 12—
#DW250 #DecemberWithDorothy
#DorothyWordsworth has been ill for 6 years by Christmas 1836, and Jane has just been bereaved. Despite all, Dorothy closes her letter:
'How my heart yet beats at the sound of Christmas Day—'
Christmas wishes to you all, whether alone or together.
#DW250 #DecemberWithDorothy
On #TwelfthNight 1837, just after her 66th birthday, she sends a Christmas poem to a friend, which she titles 'Christmas Day'. It begins:
'This is the day when kindred meet
Round one accustomed social fire'
#DW250 #DecemberWithDorothy #ChristmasBirthday
Through those years of separation, Christmas comes to hold a special place for her, as a time of reflection, on her own life and others', and as a time of togetherness, and awareness of isolation. #DW250 #DecemberWithDorothy #ChristmasBirthday
She explains 'I can almost tell where every Birthday of my life was spent [...] The Day was always kept by my Brothers with rejoicing in my Father's house, but for six years (the interval between my Mother's Death and his) I was never once at home.' #DW250 #DecemberWithDorothy
#OnThisDay, 1771, #DorothyWordsworth is born - 250 yrs ago. Nature writer, travel writer, diarist, poet.
In 1793 she writes to her best friend Jane 'Oh how I long for a Christmas fire-side, surrounded by a circle of my old Friends and companions.'

Other #ChristmasEve's were more like this one for #WeatherInTheLakes
1826: Morning dark. Soft grey & mild [...] Long walk alone among crags & on Terrace.
1827: Very dark morning – very wet; but not plashing – showers all day.

#OnThisDay 1827 #DorothyWordsworth writes:
Friday 21st Shortest day. Bright & clear—though not unclouded [...] no rain – comes on in evening.
Or how about 1834?
'Shortest day light & long & a lovely Sunrise.'
#DW250 #DecemberWithDorothy #Solstice
#DorothyWordsworth often marked the #ShortestDay in her journals. For her, it was always the 21st.
In 1826 it was 'a very fine bright day' which she called the 'Shortest day – yet longest of the week.'
