Helen's Mr Darcy

Lyme Park is one of my favourite homes in England and today I returned after 10 years for another visit, but this time I had my Mr Darcy with me. For those of you who may not be aware Lyme Park was used as Pemberley in the 1995 BBC adaption of Pride and Prejudice. Not much has changed in the house since my last visit. The best thing this time was the rambling around the gardens with my Mr Darcy. In fact like Elizabeth I managed to spot my Mr Darcy in the garden.
After all this time I think Mike can understand a little of why I love this place so much. There is just something about its setting, and the grounds are just amazing. We didn't have time to walk through the deer park to the "Cage" which was orginally a hunting lodge, but hey I guess we need to save something for next time.
