Leicester, United Kingdom

We are back at Leicester.
This morning we depart at 7.00 am from Southampton.
This time we stayed at Westfield House.
A nice hotel with the swimming pool. The hotel is an English style hotel.

We got an attic room. Interesting.
I've been wondering how is it to live in an attic room, due to the TV. hehehehe.
Now, got to experience it myself.

The location of the hotel is very close to the Blaby shopping town.
Just walking distance away...

Today, we visited the local Blaby Library.
Timmy read so many books there. Even found a little duck to hug and move around. hehehehe..

The librarian was very kind, she gave Timmy a big Treasure Box, with lots of books and coloring pencil and a sharpener in it! Cool.

Lunch...we had a nice chicken and mushroom pie from the local bakery. Yum.
Dinner...had Chinese food, just next door. Golden Dragon restaurant.
Nice and warm soup, Duck with ginger and pineapple, another Duck with Black bean sauce.

Time to sleep soon. Night night.

Nottingham

We visited Green's Windmill...
a unique working windmill that was home to the 19th century mathematical miller George Green.

They host range of products and fun science.

Timmy wrote Mom!

Timmy is learning to write and the day before yesterday,
he suddenly grabbed a pen and wrote: MOM

I was soo happy when I saw that! hehehehehe...

Yesterday, he wrote his own first name: Timotius. :)

I'm proud of you Tim!

Holly Hill

We went to Holly Hill yesterday. There was a duck pool, Timmy had fun watching the ducks swimming. We saw a family with their dogs. The dogs were smart, it could ran into the water and catch the twig!

Blue Pool

The Blue Pool....

We discovered the luxury of silence and a friendly welcome at the Blue Pool.

The water changes its color minute to minute from shades of green to beautiful turquoise - a truly fascinating phenomenon. Set like a jewel in a forest...
Blue Pool is surrounded by 25 acres of heath, woodland and interlaced with sandy paths.... Seems like taking us to another world....

A tranquil oasis within a holiday schedule.

The pool isn't always the same colour, depending on the weather and temperature.
Sometimes green, sometimes turquoise.












After visiting the Lullworth Cove, we went to the Blue Pool.

Back to Nature time! Yippee!

Timmy and Cynthia played at the playground there.

Jurrasic Coast

Jurrasic Coast is England's first natural World Heritage Site.
This unique stretch of coastline has joined the ranks of the Great Barrier Reef and the Grand Canyon as one of the wonders of the natural world.

The Jurrasic Coast is stunningly beautiful, with and unparalleled range of natural features. Landslides, beaches, bays and cliffs...

Explore Jurrasic Coast!





Last week, we visited Jurrasic Coast at Lulworth.
It was the coast where they found lots of fossil.
Today, it is a nice cove beach.

Lulworth is famous for its unique and dramatic natural features, such as the Cove and Durdle Door.

We had lunch at a restaurant near the Lullworth Castle.
Timmy and Cynthia were playing the slide at the backyard playground of the restaurant.

Lulworth Castle is the traditional seat of the Weld family and is situated in the picturesque village of East Lulworth.

After lunch, we headed to Lullworth Cove.
The view there is excellent.
We bought ice cream there.
Timmy and Cynthia took turn in feeding each other with their ice cream.

While eating ice cream, we ran up the hill.
I told the kids: "Come on kids, let's run up the hill like Jack and Jill."
There was an English couple who was lying down on the grass.
The moment I said that, the lady sing the rhyme:

Jack and Jill went up the hill,
to fetch a pail of water,
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
and Jill come tumbling after...

hehehehehe...

Moore Crescent

We stay at Netley Abbey, Southampton, UK.
It is a quiet, nice environment.
Around the neighbourhood, we can see blueberry tree. Cool!

Timmy got a chance to pick the blueberry. hehehehe...

I found one of the street sign here, quite cute.
Snail crossing the road, 20 is plenty. Slow down. :)
