Bev (Bill's Mum) and Alan (her partner) were recently on a 2-week sightseeing tour in Ireland, Scotland, and England. One of their stops was at the Bronte Parsonage, the home of Charlotte, Emily, and the rest of the Bronte family, which is located in the small village called Haworth. Seeing as Haworth is a fairly easy one hour drive from our house, co-ordinated a visit so we could meet up with them and have a quick lunch. While it didn't go off without a hitch (bus was late, tour leader 'lost' over half the tour group on the walk to the parsonage, etc.), we got to spend about two hours visiting and had ourselves a right good time!

The villiage of Haworth had just the weekend before held their 1940's festival, and all the gloriously British bunting was still up, lining the streets. It was so cute!

A quick walk up and down the short High Street, lunch at a tea house, and some time meeting some of Bev & Alan's fellow travellers later, it was already time to give them a big hug and say goodbye. This goodbye wasn't sad, though, as we knew we'd see them in a week's time down in London. More on those adventures at a later date!
