Bradford

[webcowgirl]

Today I left work early, met Amy at King's Cross, and headed up to Bradford. My goal is to see the Wakefield Tulip Society's 175th show; nobody here knows what I'm talking about. Apparently my tulip geek goes up to 11. I'd made plans to do this much earlier in the year, and had been really looking forward to getting to know the town from lovelybug's point of view, but that fell through, sadly enough. But A and I are here and we spent our evening eating curry and then playing cards in a pub; shockingly low key but good for both of us. Now what I need is a recoommendation for a tea room in Wakefield, as we'll be having lunch there before the exhibit opens to the public. Suggestions, oh LJ hive mind?

Sorry, despite being a card carrying Northerner for many years and living in Doncaster I don't think I've ever taken tea in Wakefield. Google turns up a couple of possibilities ... but as I have no personal experience, I can't recommend. Good luck and hope you enjoy the show.

Crikey love. I have never heard of anyone going to Bradford or Wakefield because they wanted to before.

You are living proof that tulip-mania still exists!
