More photos from Hebden Bridge

Aug 24, 2011 21:49

So I left you dangling with the photo of the cafe k425 took us to eat in. After that, we walked to Walsden along the canal path, with hills all around covered in heather. Item and youngbloke got on famously, playing horses and chatting about Moshi Monsters. We passed about fifty bazillion houses that I would have bought sight unseen, for their location alone.

The closest I've been to HB is Holmfirth and your account is totally making me think this is a plausible holiday for us. Lots of trains and cafes and small kid friendly places within reach is just our dream holiday really.

I love that part of the world, its so obviously not a place that would ever have been densely populated if it wasn't for the industrial revolution and despite being quite full of people (not by SE England standards, of course) it still feels wild.

Then yes, definitely. There's even a steam railway, which we didn't get to fit in, and that goes to Haworth. We decided to save it for when Item is a bit older and might appreciate the literary connections.

Wild, yes, and unlike the scenery I'm used to from either Devon or Sussex. And - cliche alert - the people are friendly.

What Item said is AWESOME. Fact.

:) I am rather inclined to the belief in her awesomeness myself, but it's good to have external confirmation.

Kid friendly, easy to get to holiday spot? Yep. Definitely looking at that for next time.

I am enjoying the idea that k425 and I are boosting the local tourist economy.

Fab, isn't it!

BTW, my pics of YB and T at the laptop are similarly out of focus.

That makes me feel a bit better.

Oh my, you know they have a crunchie ice cream bar with popping candy in it? Its like angel delight ice cream, so terribly bad but good.

mockduck August 25 2011, 12:16:04 UTC

I did not know this! Is it widely available?

mockduck August 25 2011, 12:16:21 UTC

Mind you, I am sworn off ice cream because of the jaw thing...

sleepygoldfish August 25 2011, 15:51:15 UTC

The good thing about ice cream bars though is that you can let them get to almost melted and they will stay together because of the chocolate hmm. Yes i think they are widely available, it's like popping toffee!

Hebden Bridge looks beautiful and I'm sure they all appreciated Item's suit. That girl rocks :)

PS The tree dress made me happy to see!

We always seem to take one of your garments on hols, probably because they fold down so small but look so nice. One of these days I'll actually get an image that shows them off to their full potential.

BTW what is all this online hinting about a new business, EH? Have I missed an explanatory post or is it a secret?
