Birthday this year

It was my birthday two days ago. However, I haven't really done much celebration, apart from going to the countryside. Also, because it was such a sunny day, I felt that I must seize the chance.

Living in the UK for almost ten years. However, I still haven't been to many places around Bristol. Stroud is one of them. It is in the famous Cotswolds area and takes 40 minutes to drive from Bristol. If you prefer to see the lovely countryside view and have a relaxing hike, Woodchester is the place to go.

When we followed the 'Scenic Route', the picturesque village view was available within a minute. Carrying on driving through the Route, we walked around a 'never ending' green field and woodland. I really enjoyed it a lot.

Last but not least, what kind of thing can you imagine below?

London's Interesting Market - Camdon Market

Yesterday was Good Friday, I wish you to have a happy Easter.

Since last year I went to London with my sister-in-law, we have decided to visit London once per year if possible. We went to Borough Market last time, so we hoped to find another market, especially where it served lunch. We tried Camdon Market.

Soon after we arrived at Camdon Town tube station, I was attracted by the funky decor on the wall. However, we were really hungry; we needed to find food quickly. Thanks goodness that we managed to spot an area with loads of food stalls soon after crossing a river.

The food they served were from around the world: Italian pasta, German sausages, sushi, curry, jerk chicken etc. It was hard to make a decision as we wished to have a bit of everything. The sellers were very helpful and kept giving us simple to try until we were happy with our choice. There were also some tables and seats available so we could eat properly.

If you have a chance to visit London, go there! You can also shop around as I've heard that the goods in Camdon Market is quite cheap.

Don't forget...

Today is the last weekend in March. It means there is something that everyone must do in the UK...

Change the clock to one hour forward!
 

Change to the British Summer Time.

How this affect the UK people?

1) We need to change all clocks tomorrow morning.

2) The daylight will be longer every day.

3) There will be less time different between the UK and Hong Kong and its neighbouring regions.

4) Everyone needs to spend at least one day (or up to two weeks I've been told) to adjust the change. And...

5) One hour less to sleep (or one hour short for Sunday!)

Wawawawawawawawawa...

Natural phenomenon @ Severn Bore

There is an interesting nature scene called tidal bore. According to Wikipedia: 'A tidal bore is a tidal phenomenon in which the leading edge of the incoming tide forms a wave (or waves) of water that travels up a river or narrow bay against the direction of the river or bay's current.'

There are only a few places in the world you can see this phenomenon and one of them is at the River Severn. My husband and I deliberately drove to Gloucester to see this famous bore at the beginning of this month and here is the recording of the bore:
