Lyme Park is well worth a wonder round if you like that kind of thing, with some lovely but manageable grounds and very friendly guides in the rooms. Don't forget to return your leaflets, though, they're quite strict about that sort of thing!

Oh, Mr Darcy!
As you may have noticed, I'm a bit of a collector of book related silliness. I tweeted recently about a massive statue of a soggy Mr Darcy erected to promote a new TV channel. I'm guessing the 1995 BBC version of 'Pride and Prejudice' in which Colin Firth takes his now legendary dip will be a feature in its schedules. Anyway, you have no idea how pleased I was when I had a day trip to the National Trust's Lyme Park recently and saw it for myself! Not what I expected, for sure!
