"I luh... I... I love you" (Stourhead, Part 3 of 3)

Darcy botched his proposal to Elizabeth Bennet right here at the Stourhead rotunda.  Even I know that gagging while you try to profess your unquenchable love tends not to go over well with the ladies under the best of circumstances.


Not as handsome, wealthy, or influential as Darcy, but certainly happier at the rotunda. 

View from the rotunda.

I love the weathering on the stonework.

H animatedly discusses the relative merits of various P&P productions (that's Pride and Prejudice for the unitiated) with a student while admiring the rotunda and gardens.

 I love lichen.

E chases Colin around the rotunda in her own version of the Darcy/Elizabeth powerplay.

 This is me trying to be artsy with the camera.

Two super-cute girls about to walk into one of Stourhead's grottos (grotti?)

 And on the drive back to London we passed Stonehenge again.  View from the highway.
