Sorry, couldn't help quoting from a Beatles song now that we are in Liverpool, home of the Beatles. The quote does describe the weather though. It rained hard and was windy today but that didn't stop us from visiting the Beatles museum. We arrived in Liverpool by train from the Village of Ashbourne where we spent the last couple of days. Charlene had another school friend from India to visit there. Rose and her husband Jonathan invited us to stay with them and were wonderful hosts.
We spent the first morning in Ashbourne exploring the shops, churches and cafes. In the afternoon we visited Chatsworth House, the home of the Duke of Devonshire. The family that has lived there for the last few centuries has been one of the richest and most influential aristocratic families in England. We enjoyed viewing the grounds and the many rooms that are open to the public, including the many priceless paintings and sculptures. Tomorrow we cross the Irish Sea by ferry. We should arrive in Belfast, Northern Ireland, sometime tomorrow evening. Be sure to see the pictures we have posted from our tour of the English countryside on the UK page. Comments are closed.
