Nonsense indeed. All little country retreats like Chatsworth should be
surrounded by large areas of white gravel (for parking Rangies) and
beyond that, rough pasture infested by nice, well behaved sheep (see
Battison). Eschew Versaillian formality and don't fall down the ha-ha
on your hunter.
And if you must buzz around the battlements in an underpowered Morris
Minor of an aircraft, strap the camera to your hat of course. That is,
if you're plebian enough to have a chin for the anchor strap.
