If you've never been to Haworth, pronounced Howath, you really should. It's a typical, Yorkshire small town with bags of charm & perfect for a long weekend. Were staying at the Old Registry, a wholesome place with around 8 to 10 very comfortable rooms & breakfasts better than most 5* hotels. Everything is cooked fresh with local Yorkshire ingredients. There's enough choice so you can try something different every day depending on what you might have eaten the night before.
Yesterday we took the bus into Keighley, met Becka & the kids & went on the old Keighley steam railway. It's definitely the sunniest & warmest weekend of the year so far. The train journey was great fun. We stopped for an hour at the end of the line & found the local pub! Lilia tried eating the ash tray - she is just 7 months & cute as a button - whilst Noah, 2 & 1/4, amused himself with his new book.
They got their train around 4:30 giving us enough time to chill out for a couple of hours in Leeds before meeting up with Laura & Foz. Little Tokyo was a completely new experience for all of us! I'm not familiar with a Japanese menu so we needed a bit of help to decipher the different courses. I think the boys chose more wisely because the sushi, tempura veg & duck with mango was infinitely better than my soup! Notable moments were the delicious sushi, the weird radios in the toilets & Laura setting her hair alight on the candle!! There was a distinct smell of burning hair as we left the restaurant to get our trains. I'm sure other diners would be left wondering who was onfire!
