Sadly we have almost come to the end of our tour. We had
great times in Bedford and Sheffield in Parts 1 and 2. We start part 3 with our
trip up to Bradford to Eve’s. We travelled up continuing to listen to Harry
Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (I enjoyed listening to it so much while
driving I had to borrow it for the journey home).
Anyway, we arrived at Eve’s
and had a tour of the lovely house. Then Eve and her sister
Abi cooked us a BBQ, while me and Charlo played a bit of badminton. We then
took a trip to the local pub for the evening. On our way back from the pub we
decided to go try out the park, we were too old to go in the kiddy area but we
did anyways :D As we went round the park we found some monkey bars which we all
failed to do!! When we got back we prepared for sleeping in the caravan
(Exciting!! Long time since I been in a caravan!!) There was a double bed and a
bunk bed, the top bunk was literally a thin piece of board, Charlo tried it out
but felt extremely unsafe!! So we settled down to watch Brave before going to
sleep, ready for our last day on tour.
Our first trip of the day was into Keighley to take the
steam train to Haworth. It was this train line that was used in the film of ‘The
Railway Children’. But we had a bit of trouble finding the car park, so I now
know the roads in Keighley pretty well as I travelled down some of them twice :)
This did cause us to be late for the train we had planned to get so we had a
little tour round Keighley while we waited for the next one and stopped for
milkshakes. It was then time to make our way to the train station and take the
steam train, it was rather exciting!!
Once we got to Hawthorn we walked up hill (of which there
are too many up north!!) to go to the Bronte Parsonage Museum. This was in the
house where the Bronte family had lived and mad their many creative pieces of
work. It was very interesting. We then stopped off at a cute little café for
lunch, Scones, Jam and Cream (had been wanting one of these for ages!!). We
then ventured back to Keighley station.
From here we decided to travel to Bradford to go to the
National Media Museum, where we had some great fun. We tried filming a set, and
did a bit of dressing up, and rode in a pumpkin carriage… well sat in one
anyway, I personally had a go at reading the news. It was a great place to end
our fabulously fun filled tour. After this we went back to Eve’s and started
the drive home, back down south dropping Charlo off on the way :)
It was a great couple of days, and will have to do it
again!! Maybe you’ll hear about further tours and experiences as we go on in to
our last year of uni :)
Good Bye for now
