Reader, I tarried there.
Jul. 24th, 2009 09:51 amWhen Charlotte Bronte visited North Lees Hall (ancestral home of the Eyre family) in 1845 she was told a chilling tale of an ancestor who had gone mad and burned to death in a fire. As she listened, a lightbulb went on over her head and so it was that in one feel swoop, not only was the lightbulb invented but also that the completely cuckoo Mrs Rochester and her environment were created too.
North Lees Hall is a rather pimp crib and more importantly is available for hire, so that's where I've been hanging out lately:
It comes with everything you could require for a civilised few days in the country - a hamper of nosh when you arrive, a big pile of firewood for burning during the evening as the wind and rain howl around the battlements and a lockable attic room for stowing any any crazed womenfolk you happen to have brought with you. Overall, it might have inspired Charlotte to write an enduring classic of British Literature, but all it managed to inspire me to was eating and drinking more than I ought and then a long lie-in or two.
So what have you lot been up to lately?
