As you can see we have a new picture as our header. That, my friends, is a picture of the actual Pemberley (in the 2005 Pride and Prejudice that is). It is a beautiful place!
Quotes from Pride and Prejudice about Pemberley:
"Every disposition of the ground was good; and she looked on the whole scene, the river, the trees scattered on its banks, and the winding of the valley, as far as she could trace it."
"They gradually ascended for half a mile, and then found themselves at the top of a considerable eminence, where the wood ceased, and the eye was instantly caught by Pemberley House, situated on the opposite side of a valley, into which the road with some abruptness wound. It was a large, handsome, stone building, standing well on rising ground, and backed by a ridge of high woody hills;—and in front, a stream of some natural importance was swelled into greater, but without any artificial appearance. Its banks were neither formal, nor falsely adorned. Elizabeth was delighted. She had never seen a place where nature had done more, or where natural beauty had been so little counteracted by an awkward taste. They were all of them warm in her admiration; and at that moment she felt that to be mistress of Pemberley might be something!"
All for now!

On the flight home, I watched that movie on Chrissy's DVD player. Sadly, the battery went out when I was only 3/4 finished.. :)
Anyways, great picture! That's so fun you got to see it, Molly!
I watched P & P yesterday and was thrilled when I saw Chatworth House and the museum scene (especially the lady with the veil and of course Mr. Darcy!). I even recognized the satircase! What a thrill to think we were there just a couple of weeks ago. :-)
Love, Aunt Linda
