Back at the castle, the sun is scarce and you can stroll through the manicured gardens, with another Lake Mead at the end of the paved lawn, bordered by blooming heather and tall spruce trees.

I like English gardens, often open and close well, although there are traces of artificial decoration everywhere, but compared with the regular Baroque garden, there are a lot less chiseling, wild and at the same time very neat. Walking through it always makes people feel refreshed.

According to the personal butler, the castle was inherited by Benjamin's son Ardiun a hundred years ago. The new heir is a playmaster who loves gardening more than his father. He personally supervised and expanded a large area of woodland, and rebuilt the west wing of the castle.

And the garden of Lady Atilon, which is now the most beloved by visitors, is his handiwork, and it is also his favorite place to stay back then. Because I like it, I give it its name.

With a history of 700 years, the castle seems to be like an eternal reincarnation, and every time it changes hands, every time it comes to a historical period, there seems to be a new development.

Fishing is available by the lake, hunting in the forest, and there is a nine-hole golf course nearby......

So the guest list can be described as a star-studded list, not only big stars such as John Lennon, but also dignitaries from various countries. The current Queen of England is father King George V and his Queen, Presidents Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, John F. Kennedy, and Princess Grace of Monaco......

Just because George V came, the owner at that time specially built a restaurant for him, named George V Restaurant, this sycophant has a level.

Come to the east wing of the castle, a leisure and entertainment center, there are cinemas, wine shops, billiard rooms, and SPA halls. A variety of aristocratic activities are offered, such as horseback riding. Of course, the most special thing is the falcon taming, an exclusive project of Ashford, the only falcon training base in the country, just outside the city walls.

There is nothing to say all night, and between the lakes and mountains, it is natural to fully enjoy the joy of fighting in the field!

The next day, take a car to a nearby village. The sight is full of primitive scenes that seem to have popped out of Grimm's fairy tales, and through the rolling hills, many pristine villages are nestled among the poplar-covered hillsides.

The snow-capped peaks and forests of the Carpathians in the distance are almost close to the pristine natural environment, and the locals joke that bears and wolves are the overlords here, and humans are the ones who survive.

Go deep into the life of the local people, and interpret what it means to rely on the mountain to eat the mountain. Everything is made of wood, and the original wooden houses, lovely pitched roofs, and dreamlike natural ecological backdrops......

Is this the so-called country life that urbanites often dream of and yearn for?

Travel pack a few days forced can,

I really want to live here,

Just chopping wood will exhaust you!

There was a deep mooing sound nearby, and the herdsmen were taking the cows out of the village for grazing, and the brass bells around the cows' necks rang with the pace, as if there was unspoken joy.

The young girl picks up the white lace screen, the chickens under the windowsill compete to pull the dirt for food, the dogs run happily with the busy man's front house and backyard, and the hostess hums a cheerful tune in the kitchen while preparing breakfast.

A white lace tablecloth spreads on an old wooden dining table, and a simple ceramic bottle with blooming wildflowers is simple and beautiful.

Passing by a cemetery, the local people 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 put aside the gray stone tablets of the graves full of mountains, with a unique tone.

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

The most amazing thing is that there is also a poem engraved under each tombstone, and Alice crouches down and carefully identifies it:

Under this heavy cross

Lying down was my poor mother-in-law

She would have lived three more days

I'm not lying, because she's going to see it

You passing through here

Please don't try to wake her up

Because if she comes home

She would have scolded me more

But I'm doing well now

So she didn't come back

Stay here, my dear mother-in-law!

SC Johnson gives a thumbs up, 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, and 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 sentence picks chrysanthemums under the east fence, and it is very appropriate to see Nanshan here. Thousands of years of ancient traditional customs have become the foundation of the local people's survival, maybe they are not rich, but they have the most primitive happiness.

Looking back on the contact during this time, I sighed that as the old saying goes, one side of the water and soil supports the other side.

The distinctive characteristic of the British is that they are conservative and arrogant, with a graceful appearance and a sullen inner conflict. Living in the UK as a stranger may feel a calm, orderly and somewhat indifferent atmosphere.

The old Christian churches with blackened walls, the castle-like Tower of London on the banks of the River Thames, and the Houses of Parliament inlaid with an old clock with a diameter of 2.8 meters, all show that the country adheres to a traditional style.

Coupled with the gloomy weather that is not easy to see all day long, it adds a dull tone. As for the prohibition of changing the windows of the old house, the house is often cold, and the hottest fan is not used, and the air conditioner is not understood.

My home is a castle, and the wind can come in, but no one, not even the king and the queen, is allowed to enter without my permission.

When many people move into a new home, the first thing they do is fence around the house, separating themselves from their neighbors and from the outside world.

There is an English proverb: the wall is higher than the neighbor.

When I get along with Alice, the most I hear is one word: sorry

So there is a contradiction, you say that this place is known for its conservativeness, but the pregnancy rate of underage girls is the highest in the world, and it is silent and reserved during the day, but at night, the bars are full of laughter......

You say protective, but you are polite, cordial and friendly to passers-by you don't know. Especially in small and medium-sized towns where the pace of life is not too fast, walking outside, passers-by will always greet you.

On the bus and in the store, people you don't know will also chat with you. Of course, it must start by talking about the weather. Whenever a car is driving on the highway, as long as there is a car driving on the opposite side, regardless of age, the driver will invariably stretch out his hand to make a gesture to greet the other party.

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

When entering and exiting a 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 a green light before crossing the road, with or without a car, and at intersections without traffic lights, it is always the car driver who smiles and waves to let pedestrians cross first.

To put it bluntly, under the surface of politeness, there is a hidden arrogant heart. Although they themselves may not admit it, they have a deep sense of superiority in their bones. In their own words, we can't be blamed either, because we are British.

The Americans have a good saying, Britain lost an empire, but did not find a role.

Because political and international status has plummeted, only a balance can be found in words and deeds. When they tell them that they are from the mainland, they can't help but ask about the current situation on Hong Kong Island.

The concern between the words revealed some faint regret and unwillingness. It's like a room in your own house that someone else lives in now, and you can't help but ask someone how the house is okay?
