Country House Dining

So - it's a crisp, blue-skied, October day with just a little autumnal chill in the air.  What's a girl to do on a day like this?  She should take a road trip to the beautiful Derbyshire countryside, that's what!  Add in a stately home, a sculpture exhibition, wellies, sheep, plus lots of gossip and silliness, and you have one of the bestest days out ever.

There was food, too, of course.  (When is there not, when I'm around?)  We fueled the miles between London and Derbyshire with service station coffees and sugary goodness, and warmed ourselves against the October weather with some good old-fashioned country lunching. 


Ooh, hello, pool of melted butter!

Delicious scone-y goodness.  Mmm.
