  Happy Birthday To A Perpetual Muse! Emily Jane Brontë (1818-1848), Victorian artist, poet and author of "Wuthering Heights", one of the best classic novels ever written in the history of literature "So hopeless is the world without; The world within I doubly prize; Thy world, where guile, and hate, and doubt, And cold suspicion never rise; Where thou, and I, and Liberty, Have undisputed sovereignty." ~ Emily Brontë, "To Imagination" ~ David Austin Emily Brontë rose outside Brontë Parsonage Museum, Emily's home. The rose was planted in 2018 for Emily's bicentenary birthday. As seen in the dining room of Brontë Parsonage Museum, a bonnet the kind of which would have been worn by Brontë sisters. One of my favourite quotes by Emily, paired with a favourite photo of heather on Haworth Moor that I took back in 2015. It was an amazing year for heather; it has never looked so good since!  Emily's writing desk as seen in this year's display at Bro

It  was a very warm summer day; one of those rare scorchers here in Yorkshire, and the last of my three days stay in the beloved Haworth. To keep cool I chose a shady short walk to Long Bridge, one of my top three favourite spots in the whole of Brontë Country.   Apart from a couple of walkers passing by I had this magic, idyllic place entirely to myself with only some cute sheep and their lambs for company. I lingered here for a good couple of hours having a most enjoyable, mindful time immersing myself in nature, reading a book, and of course, doing a bit of photography.
