Trip to Haworth - Day 2 - New Year's Eve

Wednesday was New Year's Eve! We had decided to just stay in in the evening and not worry about people and crowds. During the day we wanted to walk round Haworth as Lee never has, and I hadn't been in a really long time. We didn't get up too early and we watched some TV then set off for the town centre at about 11 o'clock I'm guessing. We parked by the parsonage and walked down on to Main Street. The first shop we went into was The Cabinet of Curiosities, which sells bath salts and wax melts and other gorgeous goods, as well as books. I bought one packet of wax melts which was very restrained of me, I thought. We went in nearly every shop all the way down the street. We wanted to eat lunch in the Old Post Office but it was full, so we went into a cafe called Cobbles and Clay which turned out to be lovely. I had a chai latte and this delicious bhaji butty which came with Bombay mix on it and delicious chutneys. I decided I would make myself something like this at home, which we did in mid January! 

We bought cakes in the bakery and carried on down the hill. Lee left me in Haworth Old Hall and went back to get the car because I had walked a long way by then and was feeling a bit done in. The pub was really busy so we sat in one of the sheds in the garden which wasn't too cold for a bit. I had a glass of red wine.

Then we went on a drive up to Penistone Hill. I know that I couldn't walk all the way to Top Withens, which is somewhere that inspired Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, as it's about two and a half miles from the car park over rough ground. So we just went to the car park instead. It was blowing a gale and it was wild, but it was lovely to go up there. 

We went back to the flat and watched a film for a bit and then I had a bath. I had some Lush melts that you can use in the bath so I chucked that in and a lot of bubble bath too. It was lovely to just wallow for a while. Lee had a bath too and then we got dressed to go out for a drink. We went up to a pub near the parsonage and managed to get a table. They were closing at 8pm or something but it was before that. We sat in the room with the pool table so we had a game when some other people had finished. We had a couple of drinks and then went back to the flat. 

We watched a film - I think in total we watched four films on New Year's Eve, haha - and then put Jools Holland on at 11.30. There were some fireworks at midnight but we couldn't see any from the flat unfortunately. But it was a lovely, relaxed NYE and I'm glad we went away together. We didn't sleep great because of the upstairs neighbours and on New Year's Day we just came home and chilled out! 

This shop is so gorgeous, it looks so lovely and the Christmas display looked so pretty too

Here's Lee in Cobbles and Clay which was busy but not heaving

And here I am. I only took the two dresses with me so wore the rose print one again

Look at this sign on a shop in the village! It is really cool how there is Bronte history everywhere

Here we are outside in one of the little sheds in the beer garden of Haworth Old Hall

Up on the moors - it is so beautiful up there

Chucking some of the Lush melt into the bath. The tub was huge and I was so relaxed 

And finally here's one of the drinks I had in the pub!
