Well for the last few days we have continued visiting places around Manchester UK. Yesterday we were at Chatsworth which I prefer to call Pemberly. Yes, Pemberly from Pride & Prejudice. the movie made in 2005 was filmed here but I do prefer the BBC series. As we approached I exclaimed "It's Pemberly!!!"


I can see how Elizabeth fell for Mr Darcy after visiting Pemberly. The wealth this took to create is unimaginable.


Such oppulence, Such decadence, such lusiousness. One of my favourite rooms was the library


But the guest bedrooms OMG. Canopy beds with hand painted wall papers from China, sent over in the height of chinsoire in the late 1800's.


This place has been through so many centuries from extreme wealth and oppulence, to a girls school during the war, almost loss due to taxes and returned to it's former glory for the public to enjoy by hard working people and volunteers. The vast gardens and lands are so manicured yet inviting.



Another site well worth visiting if you are in this part of the world.
