the outlandish british aristocrats calling the happy valley home in the first half of the 20th century probably ranked fairly high on the unlikeable scale. one cannot imagine them other than pompous, spoiled, drunken, ego maniacs self-absorbed beyond the pale for even the most tolerant among us.
and yet.
what a place to be and what a time to be there.
