Our trip outside of London

We left London and proceed up to Gratham to see some friends, stop there for dinner (fish & chips) and met up with Jan and Nigel Dann who drove us all around for the remainder of our visit! I have no photos of the Boones (Emma and Will--he was Kenneth's last companion) and their cute little twins....but we had a great time with them that evening. Bright and Early the next day we drove out to Chatsworth House. You'll have to google it for great photos because as we drove up it was covered all up on the outside for cleaning!!! But it was beautiful anyway, I love Derbyshire I could move in a minute!

The veiled lady, craved out of marble, and you can see through the "veil" and see her face, and yet it is all out of marble. AMAZING--probably on of the most stunning things in Chatsworth House.

I just loved the shape of this desk and chair!

Tried to get the stair case didn't quite work too well

Can you imagine this as your house! People still live there!

Long hallway in Chatsworth.

Dinning Room

They have a marble hall full of cravings in marble. If you have seen Pride and Predjuice (the Kera Knightly version) this is where they filmed Mr. Darcy's house!

Gardens were AMAZING!

Check out that tree.

Jan and I by some HUGE leaves.

We left Chatsworth and met up with the Gregsons! Our dear friends from Wymount Days!
This is Karen and Spence, she knew him when he was 2!

Saul and Mani Gregson! I knew them as little babies, they've grown up so much!

Our last day, leaving Lincoln (my 2nd area of my mission). Jan, Jared, Spencer and I out front of their house. We did drive around Lincoln, but it rained a lot when we did, so there aren't any photos. We had a blast and I want to go back ASAP!
