The journey starts in Langcliffe

10/7/2015

So, I'm settling back into normal rhythm and routine after an incredible month spent in Canada with my family... and remember I told you my mum and her friend were making a trip to Yorkshire in September... well here's the story of their journey. And this is all new territory for me because I've never visited this part of the country.

In total they covered 1,000 miles over the course of 8 days and even took the train to Carlisle on the border with Scotland. They were based in Langcliffe near Settle and travelled to Wensleydale, Haworth, York, Windermere, Kendal, Lancaster, Molden and Skipton.

I admit to being a teeny bit jealous due to my literary interests; the Parsonage at Haworth, West Yorkshire, was the lifelong home of the Brontë family, and Lake Windermere and Kendal were favourite haunts of Nella Last and are mentioned frequently in her diaries. I like to visit where my literary idols resided. Being inside Shakespeare's house in Stratford-upon-Avon was a magical moment when I was just 16 and, of course, you know how I feel about living in Jane Austen country. Along with Austen's Classics, Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë and Jane Eyre by her sister, Charlotte, are two stories I could devour over and over.

    Blogging is an amazing concept so here I am giving it a whirl. You'll get words. You'll get pics. Sometimes a vid or two. You'll get tongue in cheek, the odd humble opinion and an honest insight into my travels and writing life. Maybe even a few gems along the way. I'll be musing on home turf as I see more and more of the UK and sharing my experiences further afield on holidays and adventurous trips across the globe. 

    Things you need to know about me: I love music. I love books. I love laughter. I love comedy, theatre and the opera. And mixed with all of that, I LOVE to travel, write and take photos.

    And, as of the 3rd April 2017, I'm on another journey, very different to my travel adventures. This is a journey of recovery. From grief, from depression and from Fibromyalgia. I will also be sharing the impacts these things have on my life now;  how I don't want them to change me, but they will, and already have, and yes, it's a rollercoaster.

    I hope you enjoy All Things WTP.
