Hi Angie! 

Just thought I would post a few photos from our weekend away. We visited Chatsworth House which is a spectacular stately home in Derbyshire, England.
Well worth a visit if anyone gets the chance. It is the home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, one of their ancestors was Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire who was played by Keira Knightly in the film "The Duchess". The house and gardens were absolutely stunning, and the atmosphere was straight from another time. I almost expected Mr Darcy to emerge from the lake

I have posted a lot more photos on Facebook if anyone is interested .... more of the house and gardens and a lot of the unbelievably beautiful interiors.
So sorry I haven't been posting for a couple of days, you wouldn't believe the last couple of days i have had! Let me start with a little background. My mum has been in a relationship with a man for about 4-5 years, she left him about 6 months ago. Their house is in his name, but when mum sold her house she put a large chunk of money on his home loan as they were in a relationship, it was about $300 000. Since she has left him, her lawyer has started proceedings to retrieve Mum's money, as that was the deal agreed upon. He had to sign all the paperwork last week and was not happy that the house would be sold and he would come out with virtually nothing. So, on Saturday night he burnt the house down, yes...I am serious, he burnt the house to the ground. Luckily Mum had removed all of her things 2 weeks ago with Police present as she was scared of him and what he would do. But the house is completely gone. He has been arrested and charged with Arson, and faced court today.
We have now learnt of his history, and he is a con man who has done this before. He tries to scam women out of money, and has a trail of victims.
Honestly, It is embarrassing to tell people this as it makes us sound like some crazy, weird family. But the truth is, My mum works at Corrective Services, my sister is a psychologist and works as a parole officer, my brother owns a successful JetSki business, and we are all good people.
Anyway, I feel safe with you guys, I know your not judgmental, and I promise we are really nice, good people......maybe a little too trusting.......obviously......

Since almost every PM i got for the bus payment was asking how my wrist was doing. This Friday will be 3 month since the accident. As of now I have very little to almost to pain in my left hand and wrist. Still have a little swelling and stiffness in the wrist. I also do not have full strength back in my hand. I have to rebuild the muscles up. It slow but I'm getting it back to normal . Who know a 3 second hit would take over 3 month to heal.

I had a rough day, not as rough as Hayley's mum, but Goofy Granny took me out to dinner and made my evening. I went to the grocery store and I guess someone dropped soda and it exploded on the side of my car. By the time I saw it, it was dried, sticky and goopy. Just lovely.
The orthodontist cut the inside of Abby's mouth and she was on Tylenol all day and not doing well. Oh well, life goes on - 2 more months and I smell the sea breeze!!!
So glad that you are doing better!! You and Becca can celebrate healthy wrists with ice creams!!
Sorry to hear about your car. It amazes me that people can be so rude as to not try and warn you or do something to clean up their mess...
Hugs to Abby - I feel her pain - quite literally... Hopefully her orthodontist will leave her pain free for the cruise! My dentist has promised me the same, so we shall see...
I am glad to see he has to live with his psychologist friend, maybe the friend will give some free psych therapy. Your mom is pretty smart to have left when she did. So sorry your family is having to endure this.So sorry I haven't been posting for a couple of days, you wouldn't believe the last couple of days i have had! Let me start with a little background.
