Diwali marbellous

Last weekend we visited our daughter and family in Derby & we all went along to see the decorations for the Diwali celebrations at nearby Kedleston Hall. They were impressively, and colourfully, beautiful. None moreso than those in the stunning Marble Hall, which was designed by the then relatively unknown Robert Adam.

It was only later that we found out that the magnificent marble was actually alabaster & it had been quarried nearby, not imported from Italy! It doesn't stop the room being sensational, not for me anyway!
