Weekend Eye Candy

I bet you were expecting pictures of hot men to drool over weren't you! Well not this weekend, we have hot houses instead. Feast your eyes on these babies:

This is Burghley House, which was used as Lady Catherine de Bourgh's estate in the new film of Pride & Prejudice.

Above is Chatsworth, home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, used as Pemberley in the new film of Pride & Prejudice. Just a small weekend cottage of course. Nothing fancy. You cand find more pictures here.

This is Castle Howard in Yorkshire, which is owned by the Howard family. As you can see it looks nothing like a castle, go figure, but it's pretty and large. It was used as the house of the Marchmain family in Brideshead Revisited starring Jeremy Irons and Anthony Andrews in the early 80's. There was also an article in Vanity Fair a few years ago, about this chick named Rebecca who had seen the house in a magazine and decided she wanted to live there. She ended up marrying the guy who owns it, and they have twins. Sounds like a chick-lit tale, but she'd probably end up falling for the sexy gardener instead.

And finally, to continue the Pride & Prejudice theme, we have Basildon which played the role of Netherfield, where Mr. Bingley lived. Picture lucky Jane Bennet getting to live here.

I hope you've enjoyed the scenery. I'll be back this weekend with a review of either Harry Potter or Walk the Line.
