There is an estate called "Burghley House" not too far from here. We had always talked of visiting so figured the first weekend of August would be the perfect time. It is located in Stamford outside of Peterborough, and ironically enough allowed me to continue with my obsession of Pride and Prejudice adaptations. This property was used in the 2003 film and represented Lady Catherine De Bourgh's property, Rosings. Besides being another amazing area to tour both inside and out, Burghley House is also home to some very friendly deer. Upon entering the property, I thought I noticed a couple of deer behind a fence in the distance. Only minutes later, we were parking the car mere feet from grazing deer. Much to my surprise Alexandria grabbed a leaf from a tree, approached a buck, and fed it straight to him!
The following weekend we headed toward London but away from central London which we have tired of seeing already! Instead, we visited Richmond, which is essentially where all the people who live in London actually live. Despite constant rain, we enjoyed ourselves with shopping and gelato. One of the things we hoped to do while there was walk along the river. Here is what we found when we made our way down to the river:
Yes, that is a pub in which people cannot get out due to the river flooding... every man's dream.
