  1. Found myself in the town of Haworth today, it seems to be a little town in Yorkshire that is set in the 1950s.

     

    First went to a pub where I had a beef stew with dumplings, then to an old sweet shop a'top of t'hill, then a walk near the cemetary where all I could hear were birds and sheep.

     

    Thing is, if you closed your eyes you could hear steam engines whistling and chuffing away in the distance, very strange, very strange indeed.   Mrs W told me to forget about the imaginary train noises and focus on the countryside.....

      In previous years Haworth has held a 1940s weekend which can be good fun.  The shops are bedecked in suitable decorations with many visitors wearing appropriate fashions and uniforms for the period.

       

      This years event planned for mid-May has, understandably, been cancelled but next years event all being well should be held on 21-22 May if you and Mrs W are interested.

      It's certainly not going to win any awards for time-keeping!

      And it's the same in Huddersfield too right now. The front garden is already a lake and it's only 8:50am with hours more of heavy rain forecast. Glad I'm not working outside today.

      Heavy in this part of W Yorkshire too at the moment, with the prospect of a whole lot more on Friday. Summer weather, eh?
