- OK, more fog it is, then...🙄 The Wuthering Heights Inn, Stanbury #WutheringHeights
- Wycoller, just over the border into Lancashire. This fog seems to have been hanging around forever this winter.
- Brontë Country fog.
- Morning fog, Haworth.
- A very merry Christmas to all you lovely people from beautiful Brontë Country. Thank you so much for your continued support and friendship. I hope you all have a wonderful day on 25th.
- @parvapower.bsky.social Evening! I’ve been away from here for a while and I see you have too. Just checking in to see how you’re doing.
- @menofworth.bsky.social Been wracking my brains trying to remember where the WW1 memorial stained glass window is that you told me about a while ago 🤔
- Happy Wuthering Heights Day, the joint birthday of Emily Brontë (207) and Kate Bush (67). This is the ruin of Top Withins, said to be Emily Brontë’s inspiration for the location of Wuthering Heights.
- An early summer evening in Oxenhope. I didn't spot the robin on the gate until I was going through the day's shots on the computer. 😆
- Summer in Haworth.
- Patches of bell heather are in full flower on the moors now, a precursor to the hills being cloaked in purple in a couple of weeks, or so, when the ling blooms. Note how the bees puncture a hole in the side of the flower to access the nectar, rather than access it through the end as you'd expect.
- It's foxglove season here in Brontë Country and the bees are making the most of it.
- Had a really enjoyable Sunday at the Antiques Roadshow in Lister Park, Bradford & we were lucky to be chosen to film with Wayne Colquhoun. Can’t say too much about the item or valuation but Wayne and the crew were brilliant - I was hopeless so don’t know if we’ll make the cut but here’s hoping 🤞
- My attempts to photograph the Northern Lights last night were thwarted by cloud so here’s a shot of the Strawberry / Mead Moon rising over The Hawthorn in Haworth.
- Early morning at Slippery Ford, near Oakworth.
- Fifty Shades of Green. Goose Eye, near Oakworth this morning.
- It’s always a joy to see local wildlife when I’m out and about around Brontë Country, especially the hares. This chap wasn’t at all camera-shy.
- There's definitely a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow - Mine's a pint of Landlord 🍺
- A flavour of 1940s Weekend on the KWVR and in Haworth.
- Evening in Brontë Country
- We’ve just had a wonderful couple of days down at Badminton Horse Trials, last week, watching step-niece, Rebecca, and her horse, Ember, competing in the Grassroots competition. Well done Bex! 😁
- Another colourful Steampunk weekend in Haworth. 😊
- Late evening light yesterday over Wadsworth War Memorial, Hebden Bridge. I’m starting to embrace lens flare, having spent decades trying to avoid it.
- A splash of spring colour at North Ives Farm, Oxenhope.
- Forgot to add the photo last time 🤣 so let’s retry again: The old telephone box at the bottom of Haworth Main Street is now, appropriately enough for a village with such a famous literary pedigree, a popular book exchange

- Today is the 60th birthday of the 268 mile Pennine Way, which passes through Brontë Country at Top Withens, Stanbury Moor & across Oakworth Moor. I often meet Pennine Way walkers when I’m on the moors & I’m very jealous of them for having the determination & stamina (& time) to do it. Maybe one day
- The hilltop village of Stanbury and Lower Laithe Reservoir play host to a bit of showing off by Mother Nature
- Evening light, Oldfield near Oakworth.
- It would have been rude not to, wouldn’t it?
- A chance encounter yesterday evening with a herd of 7 fallow deer near Oakworth Station. I've seen them around quite a bit when I'm out and about but not usually as many as this and not as close-up. 😊
- @menofworth.bsky.social Will you be at the Keighley Community Showcase next week?
- Built in 1887 and originally run by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, this engine became famous as the Green Dragon in the classic 1970 film, The Railway Children.
