Just back from visiting our daughters who live in England and were treated to a visit to 'Christmas at Chatsworth house'. This is one of the stately homes of England and at Christmas it is decorated with a an amazing array of exhibits. This year the theme was "Childrens' stories". Sorry my pics aren't up to OY's , but I've got a fairly simple 'point & click' camera.

Anyway..... 1. A roaring dragon in the entrance hall greets the guests.

Interesting stuff!

Any pix of the building itself?

Sorry, no. The weather was absolutely awful and we didn't get any walking round the grounds. From what I saw, it looked very 'square' and not as architecturally interesting as other big houses. However, here is a pic that I found on the web - obviously taken in summer.
