Bronte Bus?

Daughter C and I have had a wonderful day on a Bronte Heritage tour around various places linked with the Bronte family.  This was our transport for the day, complete with very capable and patient driver Colin, who got us up and down some pretty large inclines.  The tour was organised as part of the Bradford Literary Festival - recommended by a friend who had been on it last year.  It was a fantastic day, our guide was Christa Ackroyd whose incredible passion for and knowledge of all of the Bronte family was infectious!   This photo shows our bus waiting for us to set off from our visit and lunch at The Lord Nelson in Luddenden which was one of Branwell's favourite watering holes and also the site of the first public lending library in England.
Sadly on our return we caught sight of a moorland fire quite close to our villages, looks like the fire is under control now but we can still hear sirens going up the main road.
