Celebrating an extraordinary manuscript. It's great fun to listen while reading the first page of the letter on display.

Check out this film by our friends Wordsworth Grasmere about an intriguing and important Thomas De Quincey letter held in their collections ⤵️

Today we visited Dove Cottage, the home of William Wordsworth & his sister Dorothy. Such an incredible museum and genuinely moving experience.

I have a trio of Cumbrian #WhiteGhosts events coming up, in-person & online!

This is a little flurry of poetry readings, before I plunge headlong into events for the novel in a couple of months. It'd be lovely to see some friendly faces in the audience 😊

Coming up from Millom & District Local History Society! For more information please visit: millomhistory.org.uk/programme/inde…

On this day in 1770, 254 years ago, William Wordsworth was born.
The Wordsworth family bible, shown here, records details of his birth: 'William, second son [of John and Ann Wordsworth née Cookson], born the 7th April 1770 at ten o'clock at night'.

We're looking forward to the next #GoToThePoets on 24 April! Our guest poet is Katie Hale - novelist & poet 🌈 who will be reading from White Ghosts (@NineArchesPress) and our host, as always, is the brilliant Dr Kim Moore. The theme of the open mic is 'haunting'.

Take a look at our delicately beautiful collection of decorated pace eggs. These were painted by James Dixon, who worked for Wordsworth for 33 years as his gardener and clerk at Rydal Mount. It is thought James made these Pace Eggs for William and Mary's grandchildren.

Very excited to receive the first chapter samplers of #AngelOfGrasmere from Barrington Stoke today. If you're heading up to Cumbria this Easter - or if you fancy a look - you can read it here, too.

Had the pleasure of visiting Dove Cottage today Wordsworth Grasmere
What a fabulous way to spend a few hours. Made more special as Wordsworth was my Mum’s favourite poet. She would have loved it here too
