ABOUT TWO HOURS NORTH OF LONDON IS THE SMALL CITY OF DERBY. MY ROOMMATE AND I VISITED HER FAMILY AND WERE WELCOMED WITH A HOME-COOKED MEAL AND WARM HOSPITALITY. WE SPENT 3 DAYS THERE RECUPERATING FROM OUR TRAVELS IN COPENHAGEN. WE TOOK A LONG DRIVE TO THE CHATSWORTH MANSION, STROLLED THROUGH THE CITY CENTER AND INDULGED IN CREAM TEA AND FISH AND CHIPS.
CROOKED SYMMETRY FOUND IN THE COURTYARDS AT CHATSWORTH HOUSE.
SUBLIME FASHION EXHIBITION IN THE CHATWORTH MANSION.
DETAILED SHOT OF AN INTRICATELY EMBELLISHED GOWN.
CHATSWORTH TROPICAL GREENHOUSE FEATURING MY FAVORITE, BIRD OF PARADISE.
BUTTERFLY EXHIBIT AT THE DERBY MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY.
FIRST CREAM TEA. THE CLOTTED CREAM AND JAM PAIRED WONDERFULLY WITH A HOT CUP OF TEA.
AFTER A RELAXING BREAK IN DERBY, WE TRAVELED BACK SOUTH TO LONDON. I VISITED A FEW FRIENDS AND THEY TOOK ME TO THEIR FAVORITE LOCAL SPOTS. THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS TRIP INCLUDED A VISIT TO THE
SAATCHI GALLERY, THRIFT SHOPPING IN CAMDEN, WALKING THROUGH HYDE PARK AND AFTERNOON TEA AT
SKETCH.
