Back at the castle, the sun is rare, strolling through the neatly renovated garden, at the end of the flat lawn is another Lake Mead, with blooming heather and tall spruce trees on the edge.

I like British gardens very much, and they are often opened and closed. Although there are traces of artificial decoration everywhere, they are much less machinable than regular Baroque gardens. They are full of wildness and are very neat. Walking around, they always make people feel relaxed and happy.

According to the private housekeeper, the castle was inherited by Benjamin's son Ardilaun a hundred years ago. The new successor is a playmaker, who loves gardening more than his father. He personally supervised and expanded large areas of woodland, and relied on the west wing of the castle.

Now the garden of Mrs. Adilun, which is most loved by the guests, is his work and is also his favorite place to stay at that time. Because he likes it, he is named it.

With a history of seven hundred years, the castle seems to be like a cycle of eternal life. Every time you go through a reincarnation, every time you go through a historical period, it seems to have a new development.

Fishing by the lake, hunting in the forest, and a nine-hole golf course next to it...

Therefore, the list of visitors is shining with stars, not only big stars like John Lennon, but also politicians from all over the world. The current Queen of England’s father, King George V, and his queen, Presidents Reagan, Clinton, Kennedy, and Princess Grace of Monaco…

Just because George V came, the owner of the time specially built a restaurant for him, named George V Restaurant. This flattery was very good.

When we arrived at the east wing of the castle, we were at the center of leisure and entertainment, including a cinema, a wine shop, a billiard room, and a spa hall. We provided various aristocratic activities, such as horse riding. Of course, the most special thing was the falcon taming. Ashford's unique project, the only falcon taming base in the country, is in the royal forest outside the city wall.

No words all night, between the lake and mountains, you must naturally enjoy the joy of fighting in the field!

The next day, I took a bus to the nearby village. I saw the original scenes that seemed to pop out of Grimm's fairy tales. Through the rolling hills, many primitive and simple small villages were located between the hillsides covered with poplar trees.

The snow-capped Carpathian peaks and forests in the distance are almost close to the primitive natural environment. The locals jokingly call bears and wolves the overlords here, while humans are the ones seeking survival.

In-depth study of local people's lives, we can interpret what it means to rely on the mountains and eat the mountains. All the raw materials are inseparable from wood. The old primitive wooden houses, the cute sloping roofs, and the dreamy natural ecological background...

This is the so-called country life that urban people often dream and yearn for?

I can wear a travel for a few days,

I really want to live here,

You are exhausted just by chopping firewood!

A heavy moo came from nearby, and the herdsmen were taking the cows out of the village to grazed. The copper bells on the cows' necks were clanging with their steps, as if there was self-evident joy.

The young girl picked up the white lace screen window, and the chicks scrambled to pick up the soil to find food under the windowsill. The dogs ran happily with the busy male owner's front and back yard, while the mistress hummed a cheerful tune while preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

White lace tablecloth is spread on an old wooden dining table, and a simple ceramic bottle is inserted with blooming wild flowers, simple and beautiful.

Passing by a cemetery, the locals call it Happy Cemetery. Our traditional culture is very taboo about this kind of place, but it is not in Western culture. The cemetery can also be abandoned by the graves all over the mountains and has a unique tone.

For example, in front of you, a white-lace blue cross surrounded by flowers, with exquisite colorful paintings and carvings on it, and a group of crosses under the blue sky. If you appreciate it carefully, you will forget that this is a peaceful cemetery.

The most amazing thing is that there is a poem engraved under each tombstone. Alice squatted down and carefully identified:

Under this heavy cross

My poor mother-in-law is lying down

She could have lived for three more days

I didn't lie, because she will definitely see

You passed by here

Please don't try to wake her up

Because if she gets home

She will scold me more

But I'm living a good life now

So she shouldn't come back

Stay here, my dear mother-in-law!

Johnson gave his thumbs up, it was very good and powerful!

It fully proves that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is an international problem that plagues the whole world. If anyone can solve it, the Nobel Peace Prize will be presented with both hands.

Here people can find the fun of returning to the countryside. Tao Yuanming's famous saying, picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains is very appropriate here. The ancient traditional customs for thousands of years have become the foundation for the survival of local people. Perhaps they are not rich, but they have the most primitive happiness.

Looking back on the contacts during this period, I lament that the old saying is good, one place of land and other people.

The distinctive characteristics of the British are conservative and arrogant, elegant on the surface, and contradictory on the inside. As a stranger living in the UK, I am afraid that I will feel a peaceful, peaceful and a little cold atmosphere.

The ancient Christian churches with some discolored and black outer walls, the castle-style Tower of London located by the Thames River, and the Parliament Building with an old bell with a diameter of 2.8 meters all show that the country adheres to a traditional style.

In addition, the dark weather that is not easy to see the sun all day long adds a dull tone. As for the prohibition of changing windows for old houses, the house is often chilly and there is no electric fan at the hottest ones, so I don’t understand what the air conditioner is.

My home is a castle, and the wind can come in, but no one, even the Queen, is allowed to enter without my permission.

When many people move into new homes, the first thing they do is to fence around the house, separate themselves from their neighbors and from the outside world, so that others should not enter without permission.

There is an English proverb: The wall is higher than the neighborhood.

When you get along with Alice, you only hear one word at most: sorry

So there is a contradiction. You say that this place is known for its conservatism, but the pregnancy rate of underage girls is actually the highest in the world. I am silent and restrained during the day, but whenever I get night, the bars are full of laughter and joy...

You say you protect your privacy, but you are polite and friendly to passers-by who don’t know you. Especially in small and medium-sized towns where life is not very fast, when you walk outside, passers-by will always say hello to you.

On the bus and in the shop, people you don’t know will also chat with you. Of course, you must start by talking about the weather. Whenever the car is driving on the highway, as long as there is a car driving across the street, no matter how old or older, the driver will reach out to make gestures and say hello to the other party without exception.

Once there is physical or luggage contact, the person who is hit often apologizes before the other party.

When entering and leaving the building, the person walking in front will always hold on to the door and wait for the person behind to pass by.

At intersections with traffic lights, people wait for the green light to cross the road, regardless of whether there is a car or not; at intersections without traffic lights, the driver of a car smiles and waves his hand to let pedestrians pass first.

To put it bluntly, under the surface of politeness, a arrogant heart is hidden. Although they may not admit it themselves, there is a deep sense of superiority in their bones. In their own words, we cannot blame us, because we are British.

There is a saying among the Americans: Britain lost an empire but found a role.

Because political and international status plummeted, we can only find a balance in our words and deeds. When we tell them that they are from the mainland, we can't help but ask about the current situation in Hong Kong?
