1576 - Proud and prejudiced

Yesterday I watched all six episodes
Of the great TV dramatisation
Of 'Pride and Prejudice' - the story told
In more detail than shorter film versions
I loved the well-nuanced interaction
Of Darcy, played by Colin Firth, with Liz
But all the while I was in suspension
Waiting until she finally went to his
Place, Pemberley (Lyme Park, it really is -
A place I know well from running off roads
Up and down hills, through woods and back again
But only a few months ago realised
A visit to the hall itself, which shows
Some great views, that lake, and exhibitions)
