While browsing at the Friends of the Library‘s book sale in July, I found this book. While I still haven‘t read any of the books that I already own about the fabulous Mitford Sisters,I felt an impulse to read it one day! #bookbinge #impulseread #tbr #coverlove

Adventures at Chatsworth with my #janeandtheyear2020 read, put me in mood to read History & revisit my pics from 2012 trip . Tagged book has most info. Wish it had more about Conservatory akaThe Great Stove. Bit dry as these kind of books often are. Pic is of my Souvenir book. When we were there, sadly this part of house was covered in scaffolding. It's not in Litsy database. Lite on info but full pics. 🏰 #chatsworth #orisitpemberly

Originally read couple of years after getting home from 🇬🇧, made me want to read whole series in order. I've enjoyed rereading because Jane goes to Chatsworth. It's had me reminiscing about my visit there.

After visiting Chatsworth and Lyme Park, I often mused which one was the Inspiration for Pemberley this quote seems to answer:
"Chatsworth has been suggested for Pemberley, because Jane Austen teasingly placed it in the vicinity of Bakewell, but Darcy was no Duke of Devonshire and Chatsworth could not be kept up even on £10,000 a year."

While the Maze wasn't there in Jane Austen's time. It certainly adds to the the celebrated 'beauties of Chatsworth.' The Maze is located on the site of Paxton's Great Conservatory. It has a sad yet fascinating history. https://www.chatsworth.org/garden/history-of-the-garden/6th-duke-paxton/great-co...

Had planned to read this before our trip to England. Glad that I didn't get to it. Now that I have seen Chatsworth I could picture it in my mind. I had read 1st in this series ages ago. This one made me want to go back and read the rest. For #austeninaugust this year? Also want to read more about history of Chatsworth and it's people. What did it look like in Jane Austen's day?

LeahBergen Lucky you! 😍 6y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @LeahBergen My fangirl heart was so happy to see all the Austen sites. Dream come true! 6y
Sophoclessweetheart Oh! I love just near Chatsworth! We visit it so often! I actually didn‘t realise it was an “Austen” site until last summer despite visiting it yearly since I was a small child! It‘s my favourite place on earth but for historical reasons moreso than Austen ones. 6y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @Wanderingwithwords Getting to visit all the Austen sites was a dream come true. Made my Fangirl Heart so happy. 6y
Sophoclessweetheart I‘m glad you enjoyed it! I‘d like to visit the other Austen sites at some point, especially her home. For me Chatsworth will always be about Georgiana though 😍💛 6y

• Just booked not one but two visits to @chatsworthofficial 🙌 I was determined to see the House Style exhibit before it ended and thus will be doing next month! Also, Christmas at Chatsworth tickets are on sale now and we go every year so I booked that too for November. Sooo, two months of Chatsworth beauty for me. Let's face it, I adore the place. 🍂#devonshires #chatsworth #localhistory #history #book #booklover #bookstagram #bookblogger
