We had a splendid day in 1940s Haworth. The steam train was everything I remember. Hot, dirty and absolutely wonderful. We had a picnic in the park and a couple of gins from am outdoor stall. Fought our way through crowds, lots of which were in period costume. Saw lots of WW2 vehicles. Listened to a swing band and watched American servicemen jitterbugging with land army girls. The last train back was 5-ish so we got back early and caught the local chippy still open so had fish and chips for tea.

We did see bits of the wedding. I thought they made a very handsome couple and I hope they are happy despite the circumstances they are in! I also caught a bit of the cup final but having had wine with the picnic, gin in the park, beer in the pub and a day wandering round very hilly Haworth in the sun, I have to admit that once I put my feet up on the sofa, I nodded off. Only for an hour or so but when I awoke Mrs G was catching up on wedding highlights and told me that Everton had won :-D (I do know the real score for those wondering)

One observation that I have made before. Lots of original vintage clothes were being sold, including Army uniforms. I reckon the average size in WW2 was at least 2 or 3 sizes smaller than we are now. Our diets have changed dramatically since - not for the better!
