I'm sure you know that a number of the "treasures", (furniture and pictures), were sold by the current earl's former stepmother, Raine, (Countess of Dartmouth, Countess Spencer, Comtesse de Chambrun), which led him and his sisters to nickname her "Acid Raine".columnisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764365428633038329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-66639060627903180.post-71875600307953925062009-10-27T19:11:36.378-07:002009-10-27T19:11:36.378-07:00Oh, there are so many wonderful things to see outs...Oh, there are so many wonderful things to see outside of London. My favorite trip ever was a month spent in the English countryside with my husband and his grandparents - his grandparents were life long Anglophiles, and loved the English country homes and estates that are open to the public at certain times of the year. Chatsworth and Blenheim Palace are two of my favorites. I have always wanted to visit Althorp too...maybe some day. I think it is only open one month of the year.
