  1. New National Nature Reserve in Brontë Country!

    🌿 Bradford's South Pennines protected as the first "Pennine Gateway" reserve, preserving 11,500 acres of moorland, grassland, and woodlands. This historic landscape that inspired the Brontë sisters now helps fight climate change while boosting local tourism. A win for nature, heritage, and community!

  3. CW: Gravestone inscription

    The following elegiac inscription can be found on a gravestone in the graveyard of St Michael and All Angel's, Haworth, West Yorkshire, UK

    Time was I stood as though dost now,
    And viewed the dead as though dost me;
    Ere long thou'lt stand as low as I,
    And others stand and look o'er thee.

    Fairly typical of a Yorkshire outlook on life. And death 😀 We have a fair few like it
