Some times you just have to get away..
Got fed up with Brexit, animals, M&S ads., telling beggars to get a job with a final salary pension - and in fact, with the world in general, so we finished up our work here and headed back to England to visit our daughters and do some shopping.
Had a great time, and our younger girl treated us to a visit to 'Christmas at Chatsworth house'. The house was extremely well decorated inside with the theme of "Childrens' stories". It was rather a pity that decorations obscured much of the artwork and sculpture, but maybe we'll get the see the house properly some time.
Stopped off in Lake district on the way back up and stocked up on cheap(er) English booze!
