Srednji svet in Hanbury Hall / Middle Earth and Hunbury Hall

Pozdravljeni vsi. Upam, da ste preživeli lep vikend. Predvsem upam, da vas je grelo sonce. Tega nam tukaj kar malo manjka. Ne vem kakšna je napoved in se bom pustila presenetiti. Vreme tukaj je tako ali tako polno presenečenj.

Hello everybody! How was your weekend? I hope yiu have a lot of sun. We're missing it here. I'm not sure what is the weather forecast, but I prefer to be suprised anyway. The weather here is more or less a surprise anyhow.

No, pa poglejmo, kakšen je bil naš vikend. V soboto smo se kljub dežju odpravili na prireditev posvečeno Tolkienu in njegovemu Srednjemu svetu. Tolkien je namreč mladost preživel tukaj, v Birminghamu. Bilo je kar zabavno, čeprav sem si celo reč malo drugače predstavljala. Malo več kostumov in podobno. Pa nič zato, gospodična G je bila tako ali tako najbolj navdušena nad racmanom na vrtiljaku... :o)

And this was our weekend. On Saturday we went on Middle Earth Weekend event. It was fun and I can't say, I was dissapointed, but I expected something else. Well, at least more costumes and music. I guess I could blame the bad weather.

Ali niso te vilinske žlice prekrasne? No, sicer niso ravno vilinske ampak izvirajo iz Škotske, pa nič zato. Če so na njih izrezljani listi bršljana, so vilinske :o) /Aren't thise fairy spoons great? Well, at least for me they are fairy with those ivy leaves carved in them.

V enem od šotorov je nek slikar slikal tako simpatične slike, da sem morala slikati eno izmed njih. V delu je imel ravno eno vilinko, pa si nisem upala slikati čez njegovo ramo, čeprav je izgledal zelo prijazen. / In one of the tents there was an artist painting this kind of drawings. Isn't it lovely? I wanted to take a photo of drawing he was doing, but I didn't dare to reach over his shoulder.

Danes, v nedeljo, pa smo se po kratkem postanku na bolšjaku odpeljali do čudovite hiše pri mestu Hanbury. Tako zgodaj spomladi je prejšnjič nismo obiskali in bilo je krasno. Pašniki so se bleščali od rumenih zlatic, po travniku pred hišo so se podili fazani in zajci, ... Gospodična G je bila navdušena.

Today we went to Hanbury Hall. It was beautiful. Pastures were yellow from thousands of buttercups, on the lawn infront of the house pheasants try to conquer the hen pheasant, rabbits were running... Miss g was enthusiastic. We really had fun.

Tele lepotičke so bile skrite za visokim zidom na vrtu. Naj izgledajo še tako dolgočasne in sive, pritegnile so moj pogled. / This lovely cords were hidden behind the wall. They might be boring and grey to you, to me they are sweet and fairy. They also remind me of chain stiches that Melissa from Tiny Happy is doing.

Hočem videti, koliko je ura. / I want to se the sun clock.
