My friend Maia , who just visited Chatsworth the last week of July got to tour not just the house and garden, but also a special P&P (2005) exhibition (as it was filmed there almost 9 years ago) celebrating 200 years of Jane Austen 's classic Pride and Prejudice novel.

As I have posted on facebook here , I am going to spotlight Pride & Prejudice fans here on the blog this month in celebration of the Pride & Prejudice (2005) film's 7 years of its US theatrical release . If anyone's interested in being featured here who has met one of the P&P 05 actors (ie.

'Pride & Prejudice Country' Pride & Prejudice (2005) film stars Keira Knightley , Matthew Macfadyen , Brenda Blethyn , Donald Sutherland , Tom Hollander , Rosamund Pike , Jena Malone , and Judi Dench . Travel to destinations featured in Pride & Prejudice Movies are often an inspiration for travelers, especially when the location is as beautiful as the English countryside. The fact that the East Midlands region of England was used extensively for location filming for Pride and Prejudice is especially fitting given that Jane Austen drew on the Derbyshire landscape for some of her most descriptive passages in the novel. Austen's descriptions of the county refer to there being "no finer county in England than Derbyshire", and feature "all the celebrated beauties of Matlock, Chatsworth, Dovedale, and the Peak". (from VisitBritain ) Here are some newly added and updated photos and locations (of the location/hous...

A last post for 2010, as we're about to say goodbye to the past year, and ring in the New Year 2011 (the year of the rabbit!) in just seven hours (eastern time) from now. As I previously posted and blogged here in  part 1 , I shared some photos and my wonderful experience from my recent holiday and visit to the beautiful countryside of England ( Derbyshire , Yorkshire , and Lincolnshire ) and the lovely Scotland , UK . And in part 2 of My First European trip (September 2010) , I shared my photos from London ( England ), Paris ( France ), and parts of Bakewell ( Derbyshire ) including Haddon Hall . I took more photos (I have tons of them, actually) and I thought I'd share more especially the photos that's relevant to this blog as I took more pics from Chatsworth House ( Pemberley scenes ) and Haddon Hall ( Lambton Inn scenes ), two of Pride & Prejudice film's filming Locations I was fortunate enough to have had a chance to tour and visit to this y...

( all photos by Jeane . Click all images to enlarge!) I've always wanted to travel and visit Europe (ie. London, England ; Paris, France , and Rome, Italy to name a few European countries ), but didn't know when or if it will ever happen anytime soon. Though I knew someday I will eventually go and visit at least one of those beautiful and picturesque European countries I've often wondered about (and had dreamt of visiting and seeing them in person), but only had the pleasure in seeing them in pictures or my favorite movies, lol. I thought it will probably be a long time before I ever get an opportunity and a chance to go there. Interestingly, my sister and her family were thinking of visiting her in-laws for a week or two. So, I asked my sister if they wouldn't mind me going along with them. I told her I would really love to go with them and they said, yes, of course. Our original plan was just to visit Bakewell , Derbyshire and London , England , but as ...
