It is why most people visit and I refuse to return to type and say, but there's so much more to India.... Oops! :) But a step in the right direction for tourism and for that, we must be thankful. #agra #uptourism #tajmahal #tajmahalagra #selfiequeen #memsahibinindia #escapetoindia #weareindianexperiences #discoveringindiadifferently #savetourism #travelphotography #india #indiatourism #india_clicks
Someone told me recently that even on my first tri Someone told me recently that even on my first trip to India, 22 years ago, I would never settle for what I was shown. There had to be more, I wanted to discover more, learn more, understand more. Just looking at a monument wasn't enough. I had to know what was behind that door, around the corner, what if we took the longer way round, stopping the car when I saw something that intrigued me. Now I'm in Yorkshire and it looks like I will be for some time and people are asking, but what will you do? Aren't you itching to be off? But you see, it's not traveling miles and continents that constitutes travel, but the journey within, how we view the places we visit. It's that interest, intrigue, curiosity. We get out of a destination, what we are prepared to invest, and that is time, enthusiasm, patience, passion. I'm more excited by the prospect of discovering my own town, local surroundings, the stories, how the past shaped the future, meeting the characters past and present and sharing those stories. That is travel for me, the journey of discovery, no matter where one may be. #discoveringyorkshire #discoveringindiadifferently #travel #instatravel #yorkshireigers #igersofyorkshire #selfdiscovery #mindset #travelphylosophy #mybackyard #innerjourney #passionfortravel #solotravel #journeytohealth #memsahibonthemove #yorkshirewriters #meandmydog #stories #doorsteptravel

I've been chuntering about wanting to go for quite I've been chuntering about wanting to go for quite some time now and yesterday, I finally made it. The Piece Hall, Halifax. It's history is what fascinates me, how it was built for handloom weavers to be able to sell their cloth to merchants. Such an extraordinary building, showcasing the wealth of the wool industry in West Yorkshire and not only that, initially, it was only open for two hours a week! Now it has been refurb'd and is chock a block full of fun, little, independent shops, restaurants and cafes. On my explorations, I also discovered that legend has it, the head of John The Baptist was buried in Halifax Cathedral and it was an organist of said cathedral who discovered the planet Uranus! Oh, and I managed to pick up a copy of Topic UK too. All in a morning's explorations......... #halifax #halifaxblogger #calderdale #caldervalley #thepiecehall #topicuk #discoveringyorkshire #discoveringindiadifferently #yorkshireandproud #yorkshirebusinesswomen #yorkshirewriters #wheretoshopyorkshire #listedbuildiings #history#historyofyorkshire #piecehall #wool #wooltrade #visityorkshire #storiesfromyorkshire #yorkshireheritage #yorkshirelovers #mybackyard #memsahibonthemove

You could deliberately frame it, many have to fuel You could deliberately frame it, many have to fuel our fantasies, but to spy the famous fictional couple, on the Yorkshire Moors, driving home on a cold winters day, one could almost believe they'd come to life, to rekindle old flames and make better the tragedies of the past. #wharfedale #yorkshireandproud #yorkshiremoorsnationalpark #yorkshiredalesnationalpark #authorsofyorkshire #yorkshirewriters #bronte #brontesisters #cathyandheathcliff #writersofinsta #authorsofinstagram #yorkshire #visityorkshire #fictionalfigures #howarth #brontes #classicbooks #theclassics #famousauthors #ghosts #reallifecharacters #bringingtravelhome #mybackyard
