Corfu 2011



We've just got back to a grey and cold England after two very hot and sunny weeks in Corfu. Here are some of the highlights.

Chatsworth House


It was our 17th wedding anniversary this weekend. While the boys were surfing in Cornwall with Grannykim and Grandad, we escaped to the Peak District to visit Chatsworth House and to stay in the wonderful Cavendish Hotel. Very luxurious.

Luke's London Birthday



Luke turned 15 today and we celebrated with a day trip down to London. First stop, Madame Toussards, which was quite a giggle - although Luke was a bit coy and wouldn't let us take his picture with his own wax work (see if you can figure out which one I mean!). Next, Covent Garden, then the South Bank, Westminster, Downing Street, Picadilly Circus and finishing off with a well deserved flagon of ale at St Pancras.

Belvoir Castle



We had a lovely afternoon at Belvoir Castle on Sunday with Margaret. Beautiful place marred only by a very boring guide! (and we weren't allowed to take pics inside!)
