I know, I know it has been too long since I posted anything but what with car traumas and lovely weather I seem to have lacked inspiration of late.
Early in June I went for a a few days break in the beautiful Peak District. the weather was utterly glorious with sunshine every day which greatly enhanced a visit to Chatsworth. It is the stately home that apparently inspired Jane Austen for Pemberley, Mr Darcey's country seat in P&P.
The whole day was just lovely, the house is splendid and the grounds breath taking - there is so much to see and it is very well loved and tended.
I can't remember the last time I visited a place and fell so immediately in love with it. There is so much to discover and the little details are exquisite - it is so other worldly that instead of pigeons begging for scraps around the tables of the outdoor cafes there are ducks. Somehow terribly British!
It has been a few weeks since I was there but feel that a little piece of me is still wandering happily round the grounds. If I was ever fortunate enough to live in such a place I'm sure I would achieve absolutely nothing and would spend my days wandering dreamily.

By the way babes, you sold this to us, hopefully we'll be visiting Chatsworth in August!

I visited Chatsworth a few years ago with the family clan and completely fell in love with it. Felt quite at home there in fact - could just picture myself in the big dress with a book in one hand. Darn it, I think we were all born in the wrong century...
