It has two windows in the shape of a Yorkshire Rose, one at the front and one at the back.
and it is meant to be haunted by 7 different ghosts, but we didn't see any! It does have a lovely garden with a wild area, formal gardens and herb gardens. There was this fantastic Quince-
On the way back home we went past Keighley Railway station where they filmed some of the last scenes in Yanks in 1979. It's one of my favorite films and then onto another location for another of my favourite films. We stopped off at Oakworh Station. 
We bought a platform ticket and waited for the 17.09 to arrive from Haworth. The film The Railway Children was filmed in 1970 in the area and Oakworth was the star of the show.
The station master had a roaring fire in his grate and the ladies waiting room looked like Roberta, Peter and Phyllis had only just stepped out onto the platform.
Then the 17.09 arrived and left and we went home for tea.
Glad you have had a good Good Friday. Hope your Saturday is a happy day too.

It sounds like you both had a lovely day. I am resisting the temptation to shout, "Oak-worth! Oakworth Station!", like they did in the film!x
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice day you had! I think you deserved it after all the work you've been doing! Have a lovely Easter!
ReplyDeleteAs you know, I love Yanks - The book and the film broke my heart. I must try and get a copy of the film. It would make a great ironing film!!! We love Haworth. My daughters most favorite shop in the whole world is "The Souk" You could spend hours in there.
ReplyDeleteOh, is that what Quince flowers look like? I think I must have seen them many times without realising what they were! You have such different stone up there, compared to our Cotswold stone - it looks lovely in in the rain.
ReplyDeleteNow that would be a good film to add to the collection! I just love the old railway lines and the feeling of nostalgia you get when you're there! Happy Easter Lyn, I'd love to pop in for a cake on Sunday! Love Salx
ReplyDeleteThe quince plant looks beautiful and vibrantly coloured. I never knew what quince flowers looked like until now!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have lots of nice things going on!
