Barry Lyndon inspires me to travel

It should be no surprise to me that Barry Lyndon (which we saw Sunday as part of the BFI's Kubrik retrospective) was also (along with Brideshead Revisited filmed at Castle Howard, near York.

But looking at a list of the places it was filmed, it also appears locations in Dorset, Oxfordshire, way north Scotland, and elsewhere. It does inspire me to travel. If only I could guarantee a sunny day when I could actually enjoy walking around an estate instead of getting rained on!

Meanwhile, for a moment or two of comic fear, modified My Little Ponies. I like the Cthulu one.

If you've never been to Blenheim Palace you should do. The house itself is marvellous, but the grounds (IMHO) are even better.
