We went to the nearest church to hear a string quartet. The program was Mozart, Beethoven, and a piece of the composer of this town. It's very lucky for us that the concert allowed us to enter with 2y and 4y children. And the performance w…

My daughters' nursery & school began this week. This is a menu of lunch. Sounds yummy This week is the settlement term for 2y daughter, and the introduction term for 4y daughter. Both of them said that they enjoyed nursery & school, so it'…

Yesterday was my ○-th birthday! My husband and elder daughter prepared for my birthday And bought & wrote this birthday card. This card says "Happy birthday♡" & balloon & me! Because she loves Peppa pig now, so she thought that her mommy a…

Yesterday was the first day of our second daughter's nursery. It was very short and with me all time, but she played almost alone or with teachers. Well done! After that, we dropped in the nearest playground from the nursery. There was als…

Yesterday was our first and last summer water playing in the UK. This is the nearest park and we saw children players here every day even if the maximum temperature doesn't reach 20°C. My daughters were longing to play here but it was too …

I bought this "Shakespeare box" for children last week at the charity shop. It was originally £99 ≒ ¥15,000, but I bought it for £10 ≒ ¥1,500!! It consists of 20 stories. To tell the truth, I haven't read Shakespeare's works before. So "I"…

We found this peacock butterfly during the trip to Scotland. The day before this day, we had seen it in a picture book by coincidence. This butterfly has some big colorful spots like a peacock, so they are named after them. This is a commo…

This is "Jacket Potato" which we ate at Rye. My husband says this menu is common in the UK. The potato is so huge as the same size as my two fists. The potato was very soft that my daughters were glad to eat. The tuna on the potato was als…

It was the first time to see "Honeydew melon". It looked like a whole yellow ball at the supermarket. My 4y daughter found this and said that she wanted to eat it, so I bought it. Because it was only 95p (150円), I wonder it's sweet or not…

It becomes a regular feature that we visit a playground when we trip to other towns. Usually, there are some new types of equipment, and my daughters looking forward to finding and enjoying them. It's the one of Rye. There is a strange sli…

We went to the "Rye", where remains a lot of medieval buildings or roads. It's quite near from our town Brighton or London, and it takes about 2hours by train. Because Rye is a compact, cute town, the one-day trip from London is preferred.…

I used to use the "Biore" series for my skincare and used "NIVEA" for children. But there's no Biore in the UK, and I like the flavor of NIVEA, so I became a heavy user of NIVEA now. It's a little difficult to find the favorite items in a …

One of the breakfasts of trip days. We usually stayed at B&B without breakfast, but this hotel served a hot breakfast! That was the Scottish breakfast, so we enjoyed that much. The black pudding and Haggis are distinctive to the Scottish b…

This is the best shot of the Highland cows during the trip. I took this photo via binoculars. We excepted that we can meet them many times as sheep, but we met them only 3 times during the 13days trip. The drive was a Highland cow hunting …
