My inner Lizzie Bennett loves the autumn colours of the countryside and the rolling hills and river valleys. Having warm oatcake with Wensleydale and cranberry cheese and tea overlooking Monsal Dale is just perfect. Though we didn't go inside Chatsworth, "the home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire is set in the magnificent landscape of Derbyshire’s Peak District National Park", it was thrilling to find out that it was used in the Pride & Prejudice film. It is believed that Jane Austen had it in mind when writing of Pemberley, Mr Darcy's house.Speaking of the Duchess of Devonshire, Georgiana Cavendish is the subject of Keira Knightley's latest film. Shooting seems to be happening in London now, but there are said to be scenes at Chatsworth as well. Naturally.
to have breathed the air that mr darcy breathed... to have walked the pathways that he did... grabe, fiction is so much more dreamy ha!:)
