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 .

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.
