" Oh citizens and stalwarts of Haworth Heath, walk forth the dusty road of time in splendid step. Oh muse of majestic colour, roll out thy carpets of lush green grass, grey, windy walks filled with fluttering butterflies of crimson reds, bottled blues and speckled yellows and foot-trodden tracks across graceful fields that flow down invitingly into Sladen Reservoir and gullies deep. How wonderful thou art on a summer's day when you break into a warm blush of Nature's fancy. Oh let me smell your stone-walled fragrance as I walk your path of glory all the way back to Main Street far below this country heaven here in the heart of Haworth Moors. Put the tea on Sheila and get out that soda bread and jam I love so much, for soon your man shall return to home so sweet." William Forde: May 20th, 2013.
