Here are a few pics of our time away.
Beautiful Dovedale....
Shugborough Hall, once the residence of Earl Lichfield. A stunning place, it had a working farm and mill, a great day out with the family..
One of the beautiful ornate ceilings..
Chatsworth House, home to the Dukes of Devonshire. Very grand and glamorous!
We went to the village of Crich, which has a tram museum - not something we would have ordinarily chosen for a day out, but they had a 1940's themed weekend, so we went along - everyone was dressed up in 1940's wear, even Mr Churchill made an appearance!
I love this bobby chatting to some G.I.s
Well, I could show you more, but I don't want to bore you lol! I have missed my crafting for the past week, and can't wait to get into the swing of things tomorrow. Waltzingmouse Sketch looks interesting this week, so I'm going to get my thinking cap on!

Fabulous pics, Pauline! Looks like you enjoyed yourself and had a great time! Glad that you got away and had fun! Take care, hugs!:-))
Hi Pauline - welcome home! Thanks for sharing your photos - sounds like you all had a super week. We've been to Shugborough Hall - it's a stunning place with so many family photos all over the house - we loved it. Hope the tidying doesn't take too long - we've missed you here! Take care, Deborah x
Welcome back Pauline...pleased you had a lovely holiday, I was born in Derbyshire so I know it has some stunning countryside.

Welcome back to blogland, Pauline. Super photo's! I've missed you. But it's great to hear that you had a lovely time. We're not all that far from Chatsworth House, or Derbyshire. We spent many happy hours walking in Derbyshire when our son was younger. There are some gorgeous beauty spots.
Thanks for sharing the pictures. It has been fun to have a look ( We have plans to spend a vacation at the UK and these pictures are another few good reasons to go!)
Wonderful to hear you had a great time; good to see you back!!!
