September 3 - Wordsworth Writes a Sonnet

I love that Sonnet! I love Shakespeare period!

I have had the privilege of actually sitting at Wordsworth's desk in the Lake District (several times,) as a child and adult along with walking through Emily Bronte's cottage (also in the Lake District.)

Maybe something rubbed off! lol

I love that sonnet too! How fantastic that you've actually sat where Wordsworth might have finished writing it on that date! Although I've been to England a few times now, I've never actually made it to the Lake District - maybe next time. smile

And Shakespeare I could talk about all day! smile Been to the Globe Theatre and Stratford-upon-Avon a couple of times. This weekend I'm catching the Globe to Globe Hamlet performance in Singapore. They've been touring the world for the past 2 years, which I think is amazing.

Let us know how the performance was. You certainly get around Lane! Enjoy! And you would love the serenity of the Lake District from whence these famous writers came.

It's my most favorite place of my time on this earth so far! I'm sad I'm far away from it.
