A friend from Devon came up to visit me in here in West Yorkshire this week and wanted to see the charming old parsonage where the Bronte family lived in the 19th century. Many people will know about the Brontes: about Charlotte who wrote Jane Eyre, and Emily who penned Wuthering Heights, and less well known Anne who wrote The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Shockingly, perhaps, I had never been there, inside the parsonage. So we went and the rooms were smaller than expected and in many ways quite modern. Dare I say it? Yes I dare. I was more interested in the gardens, and I took some photographs with my iPhone from the shelter of the house, seeing as how it was raining cats and dogs. I've added a couple of links for those who wish to see more about the house and the family.

I can just imagine them strolling around their garden.
