Semaphore Version of Wuthering Heights











Haworth


When we arrived at the Parsonage in Haworth all I could think about was the Semaphore Version of Wuthering Heights by Monty Python. Thier arms waving about frantically accross the moores to communicate "O! Heathcliff!" "Oh! Cathy!"

Seeing the Bronte sisters home explains a lot of questions. For example, why are the Bronte novles dark and full of Byronic heros? Answer: They lived by a old gothic church, moores and graveyard. The real question now is how you could be normal living in these circumstances.
Katie and I enjoyed truding through the high grasses in the graveyard looking at the names and dates on the graves.
