Sunday Roast

Lyndhurst in Reading

Lyndgurst is a pub/restaurant in Reading.
The price is a bit high for me, but after seeing the food it's worth it!

I had Lamb Roast today.

It was £11.















Yes, it's huge!

The Yorkshire pudding was 2 and half times of the normal size.
The roast vegetables are the best I've ever had.

I really like the atmosphere in the pub.
The light and the people, it's cozy and comfortable.
I even like its location! kkk

The address is: 88 Queen's Rd, Reading, West Berkshire RG1 4DG



Go into films. 走進電影

Go into films. 走進電影
















I'm taking you to two picturesque towns today.
They are so beautiful that so many movies were filmed there.
The two places are: Castle Combe(pronounced as 'coon') 克姆堡 and Lacock 拉科克

今天去了兩個美翻了的小鎮,
克姆堡和拉科克,
很多電影在這兩個地方取景 。

Castle Combe 克姆堡

You can take bus35 or 35A from Chippenham. (Chippenham Bus Station)
There are not many buses go to Castle Combe everyday, and there is no bus on Sundays.
It cost me £2.5 for the return tickets.
The place (Market Cross) you get off the bus is the place you are gonna take the bus again to go back to Chippenham.


沒有車,要自己去克姆堡的話,
可以先搭火車到Chippenham,
在Chippenham的巴士站6區搭公車35號或35A,
班次不多,
剛好給我兩個小時在克姆堡慢慢走、享受氣氛,
來回票是2.5鎊,
下車的地方是市集大廳Market Cross
就在同一個地方上車回去。


Castle Combe is a lovely village which still preserves the medieval cottages.
The whole village is small but it is tranquil and like a picture.
What films were shooting here? Stardust(2007)! War Horse(2011)!
Ahhhh~~That is why you must go!
Walking in the streets is like living in the past.
If there are some horses passing by, the clopping sounds very natural. hahaha










克姆堡真的很漂亮,而且還保留了中世紀的建築,
村子雖然很小,但是很安靜,美得像一幅畫,真的!
有哪些電影在這裡取景,你知道嗎? 就是<戰馬>和<星塵>! 
一定要去!因為雖然小,但是好美喔!
像活在過去一樣,走在電影畫面裡一樣。




This is run on trust.
Someone sale cakes at their door.
Just leave the money for what you take.


小小的蛋糕攤,
Home-made cakes!
把錢放在箱子裡就可以了。


Bybrook River, from the river bank, you can see the best view of the village.

從小河流上的小橋可以拍到最美的照片
陽光灑在河面上,
小村子好美喔!





The old post office  is closed.
The post box is not in use either..


小村子裡的郵局已經沒有使用了,
看網路上說,村子裡也沒有醫生和警察了。


Free range children!
I've heard free range eggs,
but it sounds great!
I wanna be a free range child, too.
Set me free!
hahaha


What do you mean Picturesque?
What do you mean like a picture?
Just look at the pictures and be quite.

去了小村莊,
甚麼都不要想了吧!
好漂亮!好漂亮!大聲的喊(心裡喊)!
然後,深呼吸。
Imagine the rock roads where you are walking the directors, the actors and the actresses were there.
Imagine there were cameras filming the views you see.
I know, I imagined too much. kkk








Next one is Locock 拉科克.

Lacock is quite popular for tourism already, so it's not as authentic as Castle Combe.
I don't know whether is it good for a historic site to be claimed by the national trust or not.
It gave me a feeling of the whole town is a business...
The national trust has organized things well, but rather than being a keeper, they are more like ripping people off for me.

拉科克拉科克已經算旅遊景點了吧!因為已經被國家信託包下了。
小鎮有完整的地圖,很多手工藝品店,和下午茶館。

From Chippenham to Lacock, take bus 234.
It's only 15 mins. 3 pounds for the return tickets.

去拉科克也是從Chippenham出發,搭234號公車,15分鐘就到了,
來回票價是3鎊。


Lacock Abbey

拉科克修道院









 Lacock abbey is one of  the locations for filming Harry Potter. kkk
When I was in the cloisters, I was so touched.
Harry Potter, Ron and Hermione were chatting, laughing and running at the same place.

My adventure, has just begun!
I am going to be a wizard.

The ground is huge, but why £8.50?
Why?
So expensive! That's why I said they are ripping people off!

終於讓我去了拉科克,因為是哈利波特的拍攝景點害我想了很久,結果國家信託把我的幻想搞濁了!哈哈哈!

但是長廊真的好神奇喔!真的有魔法!
