Haworth had a 1940's weekend that took place today and yesterday. A lot of people dress up in more or less authentic WWII costumes and drive obsolete vehicles up and down the streets. The whole experience was interesting, but it would have been more so if there hadn't been such enormous crowds. Being in a place where I couldn't move five inches without bumping into someone cramped my picture-taking abilities somewhat, but I was able to get a few shots. Dad was in his element, discussing weaponry and throwing military terms around with the re-enactors. I, as usual, simply listened to the Yorkshire accents in wide-eyed wonder.
By the way, there is an interesting Wikipedia article about the coin studded trees that we encountered yesterday; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wish_Tree . Thanks to both Laurel and Charissa for looking this up and sending me the link!
