Project 365 ~ Week 22

We've just got back from a lovely week in Derbyshire, where we spent our time walking through the beautiful countryside and dodging the showers!
We stayed with our caravan at the Chatsworth site, which is tucked away in an old walled garden, on the estate .... and best of all ...














































you can go through a secret doorway right into the grounds of the great house. We walked there every evening, when all the crowds had gone home. Just perfect!

All pitched up and ready to eat .... we were on the shady side of the site so it was too cold to sit outside.

Cards and presents for Mr. B today - it's his birthday

A decorated well in Tissington ..... Inca nearly jumped in here while we were admiring the flowers .... she's a very sneaky dog!

A few tasty treats from the Chatsworth Farm Shop - chicken and leek parcels for tea, and some very nice scones indeed!

Walking through the tunnels on the Monsal Trail.

Dark brooding skies over the Cat and Fiddle near Buxton on our drive home today.


So, just a quick post to review the week .... but I've taken so many photographs I need to settle down for a lengthy blogging session soon. Sadly, it's back to work for me on Monday .... so my time will be severely limited, especially as I haven't finished my reports yet! Laptop gremlins have been at work!

    I went to Chatsworth yesterday with an old school pal. We had a lovely time. Can't wait to see your photos. Can I just say that inspite of a nasty tummy bug and complete lack of appetite, combined with much Zumba dancing, I have only lost 3lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
