Fly to England-4 (Chester-2)

One of my interest during my staying in England is watching show windows.

In Chester, I found a sweet shop. Colourful candies, chocolates was packed in pretty boxes and displayed. It was a real-"Honeydukes" shop! Even I didn't have an opportunity to enter that shop, still, I was so happy to watch lovely show windows.(No opportunity to take some picture too... just passing).

I'm so sure that visiting sweet shops will be my happy-to-do-list for next time in England.

Well,  another treat. There were many fantastic scene in this old town.

of course I love cake!
which should I choice for today's delight..

Fly to England-3 (Chester-1)

On the 4th day, we were in Chester. Since I have had a kind of romantic images about this city, I felt so exciting to come. Such as castle, city wall, cathedral... pretty small shops... historical buildings..

And it was true. I could feel it and luckily we could have time to walk around this town.

I just felt so happy to meet them.

Fly to England-2 (Lake District)

On the third day in England, we were in Bowness, Windermere. First, we visited to "The World of Beatrix Potter", and then to "Dove Cottage & The Wordsworth Museum". After lunch, we moved to Chester. We stayed at some hotel in Mollington, Chester.

Fly to England-1 (Stratford-upon-Avon)

It was early November, I was in England with my mum.

12 hours in the sky, the time difference between Tokyo and London is 9 hours.

After such long time flight, we arrived in London, and then got on a bus to Stratford-upon-Avon.

From an Attic

Every time when I enter my apartment room, I feel like as if I am "A Little Princess".
Do you remember Sara Crew in "A Little Princess"? I really loved that story when I was a little girl.

In that story, little Sarah lived in an attic because she didn't have any money after her father died in India.

My room is on the 5th floor and last floor of this apartment.

now princess sarah have a bed.

Thank You!

A few days ago, my friend sent me an e-mail, she said: "I read your blog. Oh, it's so funny, you really took a photo of your toilet!?".

Yes, yes.. because I was so impressed with my apartment's really small toilet!

Even the toilet is pretty-little-sized one, what I feel right now is.. gratitude.

Feel like someone helped me with an invisible hand. Maybe it's my father in haven or angels who always with me.. or.. whoever.

this was wednesday's sky.
near my work place, around 5 pm.
I took lunch 4:30 at that time.

First Step in my Apartment

It was Saturday, I came to my apartment with a pounding heart. Because there was no elevator?

Oh, No.

I had my lunch and hot tea in bottle, my bicycle in front of the building.. perfect.
Stairs to 5th floor.. it's ok.

I had my room key. It was the first day in my apartment room! That was the reason why my heart was pounding.

Well, let me open the door and introduce my place!
