In the summer, we revisited Haworth, the home of the Brontë sisters. If you would love to visit, then you can from the comfort of home. Copy and paste this address into Google Earth:

It is only though the writing that we can really imagine the lives they led and inhabit the buildings shown here. Shelagh, you are so lucky to be able to see this in person. I would not be surprised if a ghost of the Bronte family was watching over. I prefer to believe it! Love Betty
