..... in Derbyshire ....film location of Pride & Prejudice and home of the Duke & Duchess of Devonshire. I have been to Derbyshire today - walked several miles around Monsal Dale and Chatworth. The house is shut for winter but the Duke allows access to the 100 acre park all year round.

This must have been a very pleasant walk Patti. This composition of this image is very well done. I'm sure it would be wonderful to see the inside of this beautiful structure too.

My goodness, have you heard about any single Duke wishing to marry a middle aged and merry person blessed with a troublesome doggie known as Boris the Dog ?! Patti, this is urgent ! I will make it my New Year's resolution - to get me a Duke and a place like this !
LOL
Happy New Year, Patti, even if you do not have any single Dukes available at the moment !!! LOL
