Chatsworth a year ago today

just realised that today's the 1st anniversary of my trip to Chatsworth and the beginning of a summer travelling round a few stately homes and gardens instead doing more urban open spaces.  A slight difference in the weather!

Their website said the nearest railway station was Matlock but the £40 price put me off.  So it was a case of looking at the bus company and seeing the route it took before working out where to travel to.  Sheffield at around half the cost was a no-brainer, even if it meant a long bus journey.

Still spring like with the multi-coloured tulips around with the sunlight helping.

After doing the more formal gardens, it was a case of going round the grounds.   This is gives a better indication of the cloudless skies

View from one of the huts.  England's "green and pleasant land"

And there's always an opportunity of taking a "fun" photo.  Double shadow from a single tulip?

Can't wait to go back now that I've a better camera
