The smell of mornings..

Ah...the smell of emptiness int his house as Nick goes to work on Sundays, my Crunchy nut cereal calling to be eaten, and the smell of freshly brewed cappucino (yes I've got a cappucino brewing machine!!) whilst I blog (FINALLY!) sums up a perfect sunday morning. sunday mornings is the one day I use to reflect on myself, my accomplishments of the week, and the new things I have seen throughout the week, and i use it to think about my family, and how much I miss them and hope they will be ok by calling my mum. what I absolutely love is the view from my study. the view of the pennines and the winter sun rising through the horizon is sheer prettiness.

i went to Chatsworth House with aunty liz, uncle kev, the gran, val, mum and nick yesterday for their annual christmas market. I can tell you that this outting makes the top 5 of the best places I have ever been in my life, from all the extensive travelling I have done. I was thinking so much about my mum, dad, sister, deb, liz, anne and jasmine when I saw this place. Especially how everyone at home loves Christmas, they will love this place. it is the stately home of the duke and duchess of devonshire, think the duchess with keira knightley in it.

the weather was so fucked up for driving yesterday we were caught in the thickest of fogs. it was scary, but demurely and bizarrely elegant, especially when the fogs surround the pretty hills and farms, with the random speckles of sunrays piercing through the mist. We also went to the farm markets (something everyone should go to when in England) and looked at all those delectable, mouthwatering delicacies, and i absolutely loves the delicatessen. We stopped at Bakewell, home to the infamous Bakewell Tarts (thankfully I've tried it as I have only tasted the vodka shot of that flavour), and I was in heaven scoffing the tarts.

I will upload all pics on Facebook, so take a look at this outting, I absolutely loved it and if anyone of you ever come to the north of England, I will definitely take you there, even better when it is Christmas. I also went to Gordon Riggs to look at the Christmas market and lights, and I will post pics both from this year and last year on Facebook.

Toodle loo. x
