No desk to show again this week because we are having an adventure in Yorkshire. Oakworth near Haworth to be precise, and we are staying in this delightful air BnB named Curiosity Cottage.
Even though it’s wet and windy, it’s been a good time to visit as there’s not many folk about but on the negative side a lot of things don’t open while later in the week, so we will have to do the Brontë Parsonage on the way home on Thursday.
These are the cottages on Main Street, Haworth. So pretty, I wonder how many are actually lived in by locals and how many are holiday lets.
This lovely shop is owned by the same people who own the cottage. They’ve owned it for 35 years. It’s worth going in for the beautiful aromas from bath salts and candles and to see the fantastic old shop fittings. The candles are made in a workshop at the back of the cottage we are staying in and there’s a little notice on the kitchen door spelling you that you will gets wafts of the beautiful aromas they are creating. The bath salts and soaps are created in the cellar of the shop (think I’ve got that right).
We are going on the steam train today.
I’ll be channeling my inner Railway Children excitement.
Well we did spot Bernard Cribbins in the pub yesterday.
I’ll be back at my desk next week.
See you then.
