The Gardens

It's hard to pick just a few pictures of the glorious park around
Chatters-A-Way House
but I've tried to chose some I hope you'll like


This lovely Summer House overlooks the Grotto Pond 
(silly name for such a beautiful spot!)

It was built for Georgiana Spencer
 (yes relative of our Diana Spencer who became Princess Diana) 

Georgiana married the Duke of Devonshire
The film 'The Duchess' starring Kiera Knightley
was about her


 Everywhere you look there's something amazing to look at


We found this waterfall ...called 'Quebec'


 This lady didn't have much to say for herself!


Or maybe you prefer more modern art?
(and yes, that is me, I did clamber on it...
can't you hear the peeps shouting at me!)


And this view...sundowner point...
This is where the peeps watched the sun go down in the evening
What a view!


Can you see the church it the distance?
That's in Edensor, where Kathleen (Kick) Kennedy is buried


The Queen, Princess Leah and Prince Charles 

Apparently I'm not supposed to stick my tongue out at Prince Charles!

(if you're not bored yet I'll find some more for you next week!)

Loves and licky kisses
Princess Leah

    We've recently watched a program on Manor houses. We saw that one.....heard the history of Georgiana. Saw 'The Duchess', too, but didn't connect the two until you mentioned. Also, didn't know Kathleen Kennedy was buried there, as well. Great pictures, love the one with ALL THREE ROYALS....BOL!

    Bored not at all ~ why Lee thrives on looking at places like tis and the history. Why finding out that Georgiana Spencer was related to Princess Diana was interesting. Lee saw the movie 'The Duchess' (we did not think it was a good movie). And the story of Kathleen Kennedy is sad how her mother would not even attend her funeral. Looks like a lovely church in the valley. We just saw the movie Woman in Gold and loved the British-American drama .
    We will be back to see more.
