A Postcard from Derbyshire

We've just returned from a week in our caravan. We realised it was the first trip away when it wasn't a school holiday. We really are in the world of the retired now!
We were pitched up just behind this wall ....
... which has a little wooden door ....
... I'm always intrigued by doors in walls , aren't you ...
Let's open it up and see what's on the other side .....

.... well, goodness me - we're on the Chatsworth Estate!!!

The Caravan Club site is actually in an old walled garden belonging to the big house.

Even shrouded in grey mist the house looks magnificent.

The house is closed for winter at the moment but I did take a peep through the gates ....


There's a hive of activity going on as the staff are getting ready for the new season which starts at the end of this month.
Meanwhile, we pretty much had the place to ourselves ......
..... but we did have to share it with these guys.
