I've known about elderberries for a long time, but it is actually only this season that I learnt what they look like. And now I notice them everywhere.

I longed for a distant moorland walk, but there was a few things I wanted to do this time around, so I settled for just a ramble on Penistone Hill. I thought I'd do something I've never done before on my blog - take photos and videos that will tell a story of my visit to Haworth and document my activities as they happened on the day. I arrived just after 10 o'clock. It was a beautiful morning, the village basking in the mellow early autumn sunshine. Corner of Main Street and Lodge Street  As usual, the first thing I did on arriving to Haworth is have a quick coffee at "Cobbles and Clay" I walked through the Parsonage graveyard on my way to the moor. I always seem to go that way out and return by the path behind the Parsonage. It is a great time of the year for a walk on the moors. Apart from the gorgeous p...
