rustyruth Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 17:53 on 30th January 2014 The noose is packed the car is pointing towards the M62 East I think I've got it RYDAL. Rydal Water, Rydal Mount, Rydal Park. Dora Wordsworth, daughter of William, Dove cottage, Dora is buried in Grasmere. Dora's Field is by St. Mary's Church in Rydale. Please let this be right, it's been driving me nuts |

When you mentioned that this word had been used a lot on POE recently I was thinking all the threads about selling pictures, image quality etc. Then I realised it was your thread I should be looking at. If I'm correct you are very sneaky, 'twas a good one though |

Dora refers to Wordsworths daughter after whom ‘Dora’s Field’ is named. This small field next to Rydal Church was bought by Wordsworth for his daughter and at the appropriate time of year is a mass of Daffodils and Bluebells. The reference to DOVE being Dove Cottage another home occupied by Wordsworth Now you know why clues were difficult without giving it away. And yes the POE link was to all the photos I have uploded recently... can do the rest now he he |
