As I watched the Happy Valley series I thought Linda would surely like it. Though by no means a "happy" show it was a treat for me because Tim and spent several days around Hebden Bridge, Todmorden, and Halifax.
One earlymorning we left the deep valley and drove up a long crooked road, not more than 5 miles and arrived at a little parking area and found a path leading down to the Bronte Family's Parsonage in the little town of Haworth. It was one of those magical moments - thrilling to walk around those small crowded rooms where they lived and wrote and left behind so many mementos from their lives.
The church is beautiful, the old cemetery downright spooky. Of course it mattered that it was spring time, a sunny day and the yellow gorse blooming on the heath while little new-born lambs jumped around the field right behind the Parsonage. If you ever go to England, this would be a
special place to visit. Have a nice day.

P.S. Loved the colorful boats along the canal in Hebden - recognized the location in "Happy Valley"!
