Lyme Park, Cheshire
We don't have many buildings like this in Illinois, and those that are this big and ornate are government buildings built with our taxes. This building however, is a home. At least it was originally built as a home when construction began in the late 16th century, but was donated to the National Trust in 1946 so we can all tour it and enjoy it. Jane Austen movie fans may recognize this building.
Silly boy! That's not Lyme Park... that's Pemberley!!
ReplyDeleteI feel so out of the loop... didn't even know you all were in England:-/ (Seriously now, don't you know that you Riggenbachs must inform me of all your travel plans so that I can fit an ample amount of stalking-your-blog-time into my schedule?? After all, vacationing vicariously through you all is my preferred form of travel;-})
DYING. I will never, ever forgive you for going without me.
ReplyDeleteDiane, I apologize for our neglect. The blog probably won't have proper summaries until we get home, so you've got some time to arrange your schedule.
ReplyDeleteKathryn, we can only ask your forgiveness -- never demand it.
What a trip. I hope to one day get there and see all those wonderful places in person. Thanks for sharing these great photos. Enjoy your travels!

P.S. Any chance you all will be going to W.U.H.?
Ahhh, most happily situated indeed! And how is your lovely wife? She is well I trust. And your lovely daughters, they are well? And you, are you well?

Victoria, we have plenty of suggestions for sites to see should you ever need them. What does W.U.H. stand for?
ReplyDeleteKeith, you are ever the master of conviviality! We are all well, thank you.
