Calling all literature folk. We’re really looking forward to the Ted Hughes country tour tomorrow, Saturday 21 Oct, but the weather ain’t. In fact the rain gods might well be conspiring to get their revenge on Ted for all his elemental poetry.

So if you fancy using your ticket for the next such tour, in May (date to be announced) please do so. For those who brave it, if it’s raining dogs, cats and crows and it’s too debilitating to ramble the fields of Elmet we might well prepare to the nearest hostelry, or get a bus to Stubbing Wharf, and do the “tour” that way.

As for Sunday, Haworth is cancelled. Again inclement weather and the fact that no one has booked, bah.
