Last London

Lately busy for travelling.

I went to London to visit my best friend for 4 days while my husband was in Paris for MBAT.
My best friend, XUE who is living in London for over 10 years since we graduated from university. We were classmates at Art University. I have introduced her in my blog before, she is artist now and married with a British who can cooking delicious Asia food. Of course he can do more than this. In these days I ate his food at dinner. How to say, I was really surprised with it, what a tasty food from a British man! I also made coca cola chicken and dumplings in return for them. Brought food to a party which was their friend Birthday party. All the people like my dumplings very much. I am sure sometimes handmade food could be a kind of communication without nation. That is because everybody love delicious food, food makes people feel happy anytime.

Only food is not enough to make a wonderful trip. I also visited Hampton Court Palace, Greenwich and City centre with Xue. I enjoyed the tour everyday with nice weather. So in these days got memorable time, funny chatting with Xue, his husband's delicious food, fantastic tour, nice weather... This trip was more than anything in this lovely spring!

Show photos of my last London visit:

Enjoyed the garden behind of the building. 

So many beautiful and lovely flowers in the garden!

At Oxford street, lots of department stores,

Big event on the Oxford street, interesting dance,
traditional food, performance...

 

My handmade food- coca cola chicken and fried dumplings. Macaroon and cute mirror are France gifts from my husband. My first time to stroll for dog, I never touch dog before. The dog is named KUMA, she is Xue's lovely pet.

満開

マンチェスター最高の天気毎日続いてる！
昨日街に出かけた、みんな半袖、だいぶ露出してる女の子もけっこういた。いい風景だ、ふふ！
Big news は家の窓から目の前、ものすごいキレイな桜？が咲いてる。大きいから、とても近く感じる、ありえない素晴らしい風景は毎日見えるから感謝感激‼
昨日旦那とタイ料理を食べた、美味しかったけど、一瞬で急に寿司を恋しくなってきた。辛いタイ料理の逆に新鮮なお寿司が頭に過って、もう我慢出来ないわ。寿司を日本でしか食べない私にとってつらかった！
夜ホームパーティーを開いた。部屋で花見が出来る贅沢な集まり。手料理はもちろん！たくさんの面白い話し楽しかったな～
そうそう～デパートでカーネーションを買った、中国で母の日にお母さんにカーネーションをプレゼントするのは習慣なの、イギリスから郵送出来ないけど、写真を撮って送ったらきっと母に喜ぶと思う。本物は部屋で飾ってる、満開でとってもキレイ、母のように。

Date

Spring makes whole Manchester lovely place, quite a different impression for me compare to a month ago.
Today I had a relax day as well, made fried chicken and veg for lunch, then went out to take a walk with husband to a park where a bit far from house. Played all the swing, sliding board...in the park. As if back to child. To be happy is not difficult!
Dinner was at a Pakistan restaurant, all the food were more delicious than we thought. Back home already 21:00, but outside still bright, feel summer is coming soon.

DIDSBURY PARK

As what I thought, I had a wonderful day for picnic with my dear friends!!!
Flowers are slowing fading, but still beautiful and colorful. With the good weather, we brought lunch bag to Didsbury park, sitting under a powerful big tree, eating handmade food, listening to music, taking picture for each other...
I like all the pictures I took, fantastic view that will became memories forever～~

Today

Wonderful weather every day in Manchester, Oh, dear god!
Will go to park with friends for picnic tomorrow, I suppose I will have a nice day!!!
Life still beautiful.＼(^o^)／

≪MONOCLE≫

しばらく日本語で書いてないから、今日挑戦してみるわ、ふふ～~
オススメしたい雑誌がある。≪MONOCLE≫というイギリス発の大好きな雑誌！初めて読んだのが五年ほど前シンガポールに住んでた時、19.90シンガポールドルは決して安くないもの、でも、とてもセンスあるんで、一目惚れになっちゃった...その後毎月買うようになった。もちろんすべてビジネスレベルの英語で私にはとても難しいけど～好きものが好き！
日本に戻ったら、一時にあちこちの本屋さんで探してみたけど、なかったようで、ちょっと寂しい気分~ある日街にぶらぶらして有楽町にある阪急メンズに入った、地下一階のカフェでどっか見たことあるのマークだなと気が付いたら、≪MONOCLE≫のカフェだった！≪MONOCLE≫の新聞も雑誌も、商品まできちんと置いてる。雑誌一冊で2,310円は高いほうだね、割愛で買わなかった。その後、≪MONOCLE≫のカフェで働きたい気持ちになって、ただで雑誌を読めるからの発想。店長からの面接も受けたし、でも別仕事との時間調整が困難なので...惜しかったなあ～！
去年からイギリスに来て、普通にコンビニで≪MONOCLE≫と再会、ちょう嬉しい！しかも6ポンドの安さで思わず手に入れた。雑誌にはグローバル事情、ビジネス、文化、デザイン、グルメのすべてを分かりやすく紹介してるから、周りの友達に読んでほしい!!!

勝手に想像しちゃって、頑張ったわ！
