il Giardino Romantico

One day, me mate said to me that she'd found a nice restaurant that she thought I would really enjoy. I asked her 'vegetarian?', and she said she wasn't sure. When I checked out the link she later gave me, I had only then found out that it was, indeed, a vegetarian restaurant. 

某天，我朋友跟我說他去了一間很好吃的餐廳。覺得我會喜歡。下次要帶我去吃。我問他︰有素的嗎？他說︰應該有吧？？！！結果給了我餐廳的相關食記連結我才發現，這本來就是一家只有賣素食的餐廳啊！！

If you go to Stratford-upon-Avon, you will see nothing but Shakespeare.  When you come to Grasmere, in the Lake District, you will see nothing but Wordsworth. While it must be kept in mind that Wordsworth was not the only Lake poet.  Coleridge and Southey were also Lake poets, but it was indeed Wordsworth, that became poet Laureate. This is his home. The scenes that follow, are the scenes which had inspired his poetry. The beauty of the Lake, immortalised by his words, remain one of the most beautiful places on our planet Earth.

到了Stratford-upon-Avon，處處可見莎士比亞的蹤跡。而到了Grasmere，處處都是Wordsworth。Wordsworth並非唯一的湖區詩人。Coleridge和Southey也同是。但畢竟被指定為桂冠詩人的，就是Wordsworth。這裡就是他的家鄉。以下景色，正是他的靈感來源。這裡的美景，在他的筆下化為不朽。至今，依然是這世界上最美的角落之一。

Welcome to the world of Beatrix Potter. 

歡迎來到波特小姐的世界。

Other than being the home of one of my most beloved poet of all time, William Wordsworth, The Lake District is also home to the popular charismatic author of Peter Rabbit - Beatrix Potter. In the numerous gift and souvenir shops ubiquitous around the region, you will see not only Wordsworth related items, but even more Peter Rabbit related items. 

湖區不僅是我摯愛詩人William Wordsworth的故鄉。他同時也是『彼得兔』作者Beatrix Potter的故鄉。在湖區各種禮品店哩，你可以找到很多Wordsworth相關的周邊小物，但你同時也不能錯過各式各樣的彼得兔周邊商品喔！

I came to Afternoon Tea to meet two mates from Liverpool. I've heard of Afternoon Tea for a long while now, but this is, once again, the first time I had come here.  

這天來到Afternoon Tea，是與兩位利物浦的同學有約。很久以前就聽說Afternoon Tea的下午茶很優。不過到了今天我才第一次來，真是跟不上流行啊～～

Located on Cihou Mountain in Cijing District of Kaohsiung City, the battery is now rated as a Second Class Historical Site. The weather on this day was not particularly pleasant. There were a few rain drops. I suppose my presence in Kaohsiung in its abnormal weather could make this a special experience, somehow.

位於高雄旗津區旗後山上，旗後砲台目前列為二級古蹟。這天天氣不算好。偶爾感覺到有飄雨。來到高雄竟然遇到這種陰天，大概也可以算是很難得吧！！

The last time I saw me mates of the 'secret club' was a year ago, before my departure to the UK. Other than the one I saw during our last meeting, there were also two others that I had not seen for a long time.  So what is this 'secret club'. Well, you probably guessed from the name that it's confidential. LOL!!!

上一次見面是在我出發去英國之前。一轉眼之間，我與『暗盤幫』的成員又是一年沒見面了。不過這次參予的成員，除了上一次也有見到的八六、皮卡、逼逼逼以及小哈之外，還有很久很久很久沒見到的小亞跟阿姆。為什麼要稱之『暗盤』呢？顧名思義就是很黑暗。如果說出來，大家就會見光死。所以不能說。（誤）

I wondered lonely as a cloud,
To check out the birthplace of the bard,
Whose lines had inspired me
