Had this been June not December it would have [been] a glorious day. There was keen frost, perfect calm + cloudless sky. Roads grand for walking. Before church I walked sharply to Bridge Street + Dunsdale + after service to Hartwoodburn.1 Did some writing in afternoon. Supped at Wellwood2 + when we left it was mild + drizzling.
