This isn't how I pictured the moorland but glad you had such great weather while visiting it. Love all the Bronte history you provided here and I'd love to visit the museum too.

I have actually spent a few days in Yorkshire in a little village called Settle. My daughter was on gap year at a boarding school here called Giggleswick (quaint name!) We went to visit her and hired a car to drive around the Yorkshire Dales. It was drop dead gorgeous, just like your photos. If I'd realised that the Bronte Sisters were from Haworth Village I would have definitely driven out here. :)Kathy Marrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054224870283073737.post-26307272589947653012017-01-10T10:31:41.822-06:002017-01-10T10:31:41.822-06:00Wow. everyone should have such good weather when v...Wow. everyone should have such good weather when visiting the English countryside. even if it wasn't the right mood, it must have made for a nice day.

I think to get the full effect of the Bronte sisters writings you would have to be there on a gloomy day. However, I much prefer the warmth and sunshine. A trip to a chocolate factory after a wander on the moors sounds like the perfect ending to a lovely day.
