Today went to Chatsworth House with Sophie, an incredibly grand and opulent place surrounded by equally opulent gardens. Found another level of appreciation of both England's beauty and incredible human density, given that even in this most rural and scenic part of the country, there's still a town over every hill.
The gardens were incredible, featuring among other things a seemingly impossible maze, a crazy rock garden, a grand cascading fountain in the middle, and some very bold ducks. The house itself was quite ridiculously opulent, packed to the gills with art and best of all, still set up as if it was lived in, down to the made bed and set dinner table.
Also, Bonsall is still pretty.
