Bristol in the Rain (2)

What a miserable day! What an enjoyable time. Journeying on, Bristol in the January Rain. The morning dawned under the typical West Country drizzle, with no signs of cessation in the horizon. Angling… Continue reading →

Bristol in the Rain (1)

When: the rainiest weekend of the nascent 2018

Where: Under Brunel’s magnificent arch, Temple Meads station

And there I was, staring at the map whilst sheltering from the downpour, trying to navigate my way to town.

Fairytale in Hollyhock

Since I have a penchant for writing about my ‘adventures’, I’m often asked to recommend places. A classic one is ‘let’s go to your favourite cafe’ “Sure, but it’s 45 minutes on the train”… Continue reading →

威爾斯鐵路夏行 — LLANDUDNO 雨下的三藩市

在濛濛雨水之下，打消了周圍行的打算，直接到Great Orme山崗下的纜車站便是了。Llandudno的纜車，雖然確實運作的模式並不一樣，但外型看來絕對令人喚起三藩市遠近馳名的電車，更是同年代的產物呢。所以就一來扮扮到美國西岸一遊吧。

威爾斯鐵路夏行— 爬名山Snowdon

列車搖著的啟動，先在後山的路段緩緩的爬升，直到希百倫站（廢棄的教堂）以後，斜度忽然十倍的提升，在水平線再看不見地面，有如直插天際。在這沒有高樓大廈的地方，我開始明白，為何麥兜會天真相信，山頂纜車是往馬爾代夫的航班。

倫敦短線遊 – Bekonscot 世界之窗始祖

佔地廣大，能在旁邊建下山水景觀一兩處。於是Callingham開始為鐵路興建愈發誇張的景色，參照著Beaconsfield一帶的景觀，先建成了一座叫Bekonscot的小鎮，再慢慢的擴建成一個小人國，甚至「開山劈地」的把游泳池改建成湖泊，Bekonscot便漸漸的從模型鐵路進化成模型城市了

Why Hull? For the Hipsterness (2)

Why Hull? (1) For the Cream Phone Box

//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js …’Why do you want to go to Hull?’ my friend asked, inquisitively. ‘Why not? It’s the City of Culture isn’t it, and it’s got the Turner Prize on, so when else if… Continue reading →

Portmeirion 威爾斯的地中海之風

年中旅行之際，時而坐坐火車，遊山水城堡，感受一下異國風情。在四時就天黑的現在，回望本夏的旅程處處，想著若果只有一天的時間，只有遊一個地方的空閒，那我就只想夢回到七月中旬某個陽光燦爛的下午，坐在中央廣場噴泉旁的古典風石柱看書嘆雪糕的滋味

意大利海邊村落的地中海之風。唯一問題是，這裡不是意大利，而是威爾斯。距熱帶數千哩之遙，平常印象總是雨下灰色天的威爾斯。

威爾斯鐵路夏行 — Aberystwyth・大西洋之風

大西洋海岸的珍珠，威爾斯文化重鎮，英國史上最難讀的地方名—Aberystwyth（讀音大概是”Aber-is-with”？）。
