An Expedition to the North


We didn't manage to walk anywhere the last couple of weeks , but now it's half term we're at it again. Maddison had an open day at York St Johns on Saturday for people they had given offers to so we made a weekend of it coming up to Leeds on the Friday after school, then onto York for the day sleeping in Hull. On Sunday we drove across to Haworth, as you do, to see the Bronte museum and so Maddy could get a feel for the place as Wuthering Heights is one of her A level texts. As well as the museum we went for a Valentines day ride on a steam train from Haworth to Keighley on the Worth valley railway. This was followed by lunch at the Apothecary Tea Rooms, giant yorkshire puddings with roast beef and gravy followed by apple pie and ice cream for Maddy and Bakewell tart and cream for Geoff. Then Geoff and I did a circular walk taking in Bronte Falls and the moors as the sun began to set before returning to the Apothecary Guest House for the evening.
Tomorrow we head for Leeds and visit Mum but might just get a walk sorted before we go.
