31st. Set forward to Stowey at half-past five. A violent storm in the wood; sheltered under the hollies. When we left home the moon immensely
large, the sky scattered over with clouds. These soon closed in, contracting the dimensions of the moon without concealing her. The sound of
the pattering shower, and the gusts of wind, very grand. Left the wood when nothing remained of the storm but the driving wind, and a few
scattering drops of rain. Presently all clear, Venus first showing herself between the struggling clouds; afterwards Jupiter appeared.
The
hawthorn hedges, black and pointed, glittering with millions of diamond drops; the hollies shining with broader patches of light. The road to the
village of Holford glittered like another stream. On our return, the wind high-a violent storm of hail and rain at the Castle of Comfort. All the
Heavens seemed in one perpetual motion when the rain ceased; the moon appearing, now half veiled, and now retired behind heavy clouds, the
stars still moving, the roads very dirty

Answer 1

The main idea in this entry from Dorothy Wordsworth's journal is the weather during the writer's journey to Holford, letter B. The entry describes the stormy weather that the writer encountered on their journey, including the sound of the pattering shower and gusts of wind, as well as the clear skies and shining planets that followed. The writer also describes the impact of the weather on the natural environment, such as the black and pointed hawthorn hedges that are "glittering with millions of diamond drops" and the holly bushes that are "shining with broader patches of light." All of these details are focused on the weather and its effects on the surroundings, making it the main idea of the passage.
