The moors of the York, had always been calling me, but in the wildest of my dreams, I had never imagined, I would be there.
I have often thought of going around Austria and the home of 'The Sound of Music', but never thought that I would visit the Bronte Museum. Do not know why?
Ah finally I could be into York and have a real view of were the Bronties lived as well! Thanks a Ton to Sharyn, without whom this would not have been possible.
If it was Dunja waiting for us in Germany, it was Sharyn waiting for us in York, with her Lilly, ready to carry all our luggages at night, far away from her home, around the castle and through two rivers, we followed the beautiful full moon, into a world of art, music, books a museum by itself that was her home!
The castle of the York would have attracted many to her, but it was Vanessa living there and the moors that attracted me to her. It was indeed another dream come true, to see how Vanessa and her little Nicholson just 3 months old, were waiting to welcome us in the traditional Indian dress, and the gift was shocking to me.....It was nice to see her house and know how Nicholson had his own room, and slept all by himself, from such a small age.
And from there, off we went to the moors.
For those who do not know; it was 'Wuthering Height's; which introduced me to the moors of York. It is a novel by Emily Brontë, written between October 1845 and June 1846, and published in 1847 under the pseudonym "Ellis Bell." It was her first and only published novel: she died aged 30 the following year. The novel is about Cathy and Heathcliff - a tale of love and revenge on the Yorkshire moors.
It is interesting to know how the three Brontes sisters and one brother, Children of a Pastor neither born great, nor having greatness thrust upon them, could nitch a name for themselves, and attact so many foreigners to them, even after they are no more.
It was also great to meet Sharyn's family; her mother and daughter, three generations and Ginnie; wish we could have a picture of all three together, but the meeting was at different time and place.
Thanks to those who made this possible!!
