Beach and Oak floating softly between long shadows in the cool autumn air and smudged light, one of my favourite autumnal walks Marsden to Slaithwaite, a lovely circular walk along the highest canal above sea level, a great 6 miles walk , 2.5 hours and includes great food at ‘the handmade bakery’ & a lovely pint at the Northern Centre for Music and Art. Fantastic opportunities to explore the industrial Heritage Yorkshire Mille Mills along the way🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

We’ve missed the rain; so when you hear the pitter patter of leaves and open the door to the smells of rain on the parched earth, it’s a welcomed change 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

‘Why did you betray your own heart Cathy? I have not one word of comfort. You deserve this. You have killed yourself. ... You loved me - then what right had you to leave me? Because ... nothing God or satan could inflict would have parted us, you, of your own will, did it. I have not broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine. So much the worse for me that I am strong. Do I want to live? What kind of living will it be when you - oh God! would you like to live with your soul in the grave? [...] I forgive what you have done to me. I love my murderer - but yours! How can I?
Emily Brontë

It’s been a while; 21 years, but even now this place still evokes me… maybe, it would do the same for you; only 25 miles and an hours drive from the writers cottage.

Reading through the lovely guest reviews, spring sunshine streaming through the windows, a little snow overnight on the hills, waiting for a film crew to arrive, what a great start to Monday Morning after a busy family weekend.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
