Second Visit to Wales 再來個威爾斯之旅

By on • ( Leave a comment )

My son just finished his Autumn Term before the Christmas holidays, and with a good ten days off, we’re planning to explore UK again. This time, my son wanted to experience a completely different kind of natural scenery. 兒子今年的 Autumn Term 在聖誕假期前剛完結，趁着有十多日的假期，我們又打算到處走走。今次兒子想感受一下截然不同的自然景色。

Lunar New Year Holidays 2024 農曆新年

Time flies and we are already three months into 2024! If you’ve been following my monthly look back, you probably know that I’ve been busy migrating my blog to a new server. Better than what I originally projected, the transfer of all contents had already been done last week. What remains is to monitor the new system and make any necessary tweaks; my life is finally back to normal.

話咁快 2024 又過了差不多四份一，大家如果有留意我最近的每月回顧，大概都知道我忙於轉移我的網誌去新的 server。上星期尾剛完成全部 contents 的搬動，剩下來是新系統的監察及作適當的微調，空間多一點，生活又可暫時回常。

2023 went much more quickly than I had thought and Christmas had already arrived. This was the third Christmas since arriving in the UK and festive vibes were around Kingston since late November. 

2023 年過得比我想像快很多，無驚無險又到了聖誕。 這是到英國後的第三個聖誕，早在十一月尾節日氣氛已濃𦋐整個 Kingston。

Summer Holiday 2023 – Day 1 暑期活動 2023 出發篇

By on • ( 9 Comments )

To save some money on our trip, we chose the Avanti West Coast train departing from London Euston just before noon. The two-and-a-half-hour journey provided me a perfect opportunity to have a light lunch, read a book and catch a short nap.

因為要省錢，到 Lake District 的交通，我們選擇了中午前從 London Euston 開出的 Avanti West Coast 火車，兩個半小時的車程正好可以吃個輕便午餐，看看書再小睡片刻。

Time flies and half of the summer holidays has gone. As usual, my wife will work out the summer activities for our son. Last year, we spent a week in Scotland, and this year we will stay a bit closer, in The Lake District.

不經意地暑假又過了大半，一如往年，太太會為兒子安排暑期活動。 上年去了蘇格蘭，今年就稍為近一點，目的地是英國湖區，The Lake District。

Can’t Stand the Pain 痛不欲生

I always believe I was a tough guy!

Able to ride 40+ KM back home with my right hand seriously injured after accident and even managed to fully recover within two months after my Coronary Artery Bypass Graft operation.

I remained strong throughout and never felt desperate.

However, I finally reacquaint myself in 2023!

一直以為自己是個硬漢！

當年右手撞傷後仍可踩四十多公里單車回家，即使心臟搭橋手術後，不用兩個月便完全康復。

期間我沒有叫過辛苦，亦不感到絕望。

可是今天我終於重新認識自己了！

A little update before Year End 年終前的生活點滴

By on • ( 9 Comments )

In slightly less than 24 hours, 2022 will be in history. Despite I managed to achieve quite a number of my targets in the first half of the year, things were getting worst as I was terribly laid-back for the rest of the year. Judging from the ‘One-post-per-month’ of my blog writing, you will know what I meant. In fact, my personal loopback for November has already missed the schedule and probably (and hopefully) a bi-monthly version would be released shortly.

還有不到一天，2022 年便將成過去，上半年看似完成了很多目標，但無奈下半年卻像洩了氣的氣球一樣，變得不太積極，單從我最近每月一 post 便看得出端倪，而十一月的個人回望更早已脱期，相信要和十二月的一拼發佈！

UK Horse Racing 英國賽馬活動

My wife recently asked if I would be interested to explore the British horse racing culture. Given that she would make all the necessary arrangement including the tickets, I had no reason not to immediately accept her offer.

早前太太問可有興趣到馬場體驗一下英國的賽馬文化，難得她會安排一切，包括購買入場票，我只須做個司機，真的找不到拒絶的理由。

Hiking Route – Tsing Yi Nature Trails 青衣自然徑

By on • ( 7 Comments )

I normally went hiking in the Mount Parker country park, which is easily accessible and with sufficient distance as a workout. Hiking in the New Territories seems to be rare to me but I had one with my old classmates in Tsing Yi last month.

平日行山大部分時間都會到柏架山，主要是因爲交通方便又有足夠的路程。相對在新界的路線則較為少去，但在過去的十月尾便與老同學們到遠方的青衣島走了一轉。

Things To Do In My Next Visit to Taiwan 下次到台灣應該做甚麼？

By on • ( 10 Comments )

自今年二月初暫停外國人士入境，台灣政府會於明天（6月29日）開始放寬符合特定條件的人士入台，此階段主要是基於商務及依親的需要，相信旅遊入境稍後亦會恢復。

上次到台灣是今年一月中，轉眼間又差不多半年了，心裏有點癢，希望盡快可以再回去探朋友及遊灠。在家數月，閒來上網也留意到很多台灣相關的資訊，先來個整理，為稍後再到台灣作好準備。
