Fountains Abbey Visit 原來已經有好幾個月沒有更新IG。 移民英國後,有了新的家,也開始了全職的新工作:幼兒教育(Early Years Educator)。一星期工作四整天,假日做一點Freelance 插圖工作,然後自駕周圍去或打理花園,去超市買餸煮飯⋯⋯人生換了跑道,生活充實忙碌,但滿足。有朋友話:「世界最純真嘅人都喺晒幼兒園」,的確! 喜歡這裡的四季分明。落户在古城約克(York)近郊小鎮,徒步四處都是田野及郊遊徑,駕車二十分鐘就到North York Moors 國家公園內的Howardian Hills (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty),可以隨時親近大自然。 昨天去的Fountains Abbey,屬Yorkshire Dales National Park範圍,就再遠一點點,駕車45分鐘。秋天到了,部分樹葉開始轉紅,氣溫大約13-16度,好適合郊遊。Fountains Abbey 遺跡及其相連嘅半人湖園區,範圍廣闊,是英國最大的修院遺址,徒步遊要好幾小時,感恩遇上極好天氣。 // I haven’t updated my IG for quite a while. After moving to the UK, I have a new home and started a new full-time job: Early Years Educator. Working four full days a week, then doing freelance illustration works, exploring areas around, taking care of my garden, shopping for groceries and cooking on my day offs…life has been very busy but satisfying. A friend told me, "You are so blessed coz the purest souls in the world are to be found in kindergartens!", indeed! Love all the seasons here. Being settled in a rural small town at the out skirt of the ancient city of York, there are plenty of open fields and walking treks right at my doorstep, and only 20-minute drive away, I will be at Howardian Hills, an “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty” (AONB) in North York Moors National Park. I went to Fountains Abbey yesterday, which is situated at the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It is a little further away, 45 minutes by car. Autumn is here, some leaves started turning yellow and red, and the temperature was about 13-16c, which is perfect for outings. The ruins of Fountains Abbey is the largest monastery ruins in the UK, and its adjoining lake garden are huge. Thank God for the to excellent weather, we had a perfect day yesterday. // Details of the Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden, a National Trust site, can be found here: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/fountains-abbey-and-studley-royal-water-garden/features/autumn-atfountains-abbey-and-studley-royal #agnesleungtravel #ukig #fountainsabbey #yorkshiredales #autumn #nature #nationaltrust #ukhongkonger #lifeofadventure #lifeofillustrator (at Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal, National Trust) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci4j75hAUzv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
