Hello!
I have had the week off this week and it has been lovely to catch up with friends and family and go on some adventures. We haven’t done much on the house this week but we did do quite a bit on Monday.
The Great Waddle of Worcester 2024
We went and found loads of beautiful penguins in Worcester this week. I love the events that Worcester put on and it is always a joy to see the talented artists work. We didn’t manage to find them all but managed to find quite a few.
Belton Estate
We met up with my best friend this week and visited Belton Estate. I’ve never been to Belton Estate but I was really excited as I know it has an amazing library. It has also been the filming location to Pride and Prejudice (BBC version) and a Jane Eyre adaptation as well as other TV shows and films. However, I was really disappointed because only a quarter of the house was open to visitors so I never got to see the library. This wasn’t mentioned on the website and was a real disappointment after driving two and a half hours to get there!
The Darby Houses
We visited the Darby houses today which consist of two houses called Rosehill and Dale House. I really enjoyed seeing these houses especially Rosehill which has been beautifully restored and set out. The houses are Georgian and there were quite a few features which were similar to our own house which was really interesting to see.
We are going out for afternoon tea tomorrow so our adventures continue. It will be a big shock to the system when I start teaching again next week.
Happy Reading

Very annoying to drive all that way only to find that there was so little to see. I haven’t been to Belton for years even though it is quite near to us

Is the library as glorious as it is described?

I don’t remember seeing it so guess we probably weren’t allowed in there
