CULTURE CULTURE AND MORE CULTURE

Today we drove to Haworth, about 30 miles away and visited the Bronte museum. It is not possible to do justice to the experience of walking around the house in which the great Bronte books were written. We had lunch in the White Lion and then bought a CD of Wuthering Heights in which Jess appeared as the young Catherine. (Jess came to Australia with Nick in 2000) This evening we went with John, Tess and Monica to an outdoor presentation of "A Comedy of Errors" in a Stately Home, North of York. We had rain throughout the day which fitted the mood of Haworth perfectly. The weather cleared in the evening, but was not the full warm sunshine which would have made the long summer evening perfect. Chicken salad, and a bottle of Vino, created a good atmosphere. The small audience and the cool evening did in no way detract from the excellent performance of the play. It was of the highest quality. We talked at length to members of the cast before and during the interval. It was a most interesting and enjoyable evening.
