Today we visited Bolsover Castle near Chesterfield (two down and 398 castles to go!). Apparently, Bolsover is pronounced with only 2 syllables (Bols-ver) rather 3 syllables (Bol-so-ver). This is the case for many of the places here. For example, Derbyshire is actually pronounced with 3 syllables (Dar-be-shure) rather how I say it with 4 (Dar-be-shi-re).
Bolsover is a large site and it is quite neat as it contained both ruins and fully intact castles. I’ve also posted more pictures on flickr.

Tomorrow we're invited to a lunch in Loughborough. Apparently, the Brits have a traditional lunches on Sunday - complete with a roast and all! I just hope it's not beef...
