A photo walk

I joined a photo walk. Most of photo walkers have proper cameras and I was hesitated to join it.





When I took this photo, a lady told me that "Men used to play crickets in the field and women picked up daisies and made a crown, a bracelet and a necklace." It was lovely to see beautiful sights, take photos and chat with friendly people. I really had good time although my photos need more practices.

Magnolia

My favorite flowers:

York

Finally I went to York on Sunday.

Comic Relief

Comic Relief is a charity which was founded in UK in 1985. The typical difference from the other charities is that people do something funny to collect money.
I bought a music CD for Comic Relief. A popular singer, Susan Boyle and a popular comedian, Peter Kay (as Gereldine McQueen) sing a song together. This charity cares Japanese earthquake disaster as well.

An electronic Dictionary

My favorite electronic dictionary was poorly broken:'(



The problem is that I cannot buy it here in UK but I need it. Even though the joint part was broken, there is no problem on software so I keep using it however it is not comfortable to carry something half broken. Finally I decided to ask my father to send a new electronic dictionary for me. My friend told me that she was required to pay tax to receive a delivered electronic dictionary even though she bought it and use it for herself. The reasons were it was a new product and sent by her brother so it was regarded as a gift and charged tax. To avoid this situation, I asked my father to rip off all packages and price tags before sending and wrote my name as a sender. I've been crossing my fingers to be able to get it without problem. Today, the package was delivered without tax claim letter. Yes, we made it!

Harrods

My friend asked me “Is the memorial to Diana, Princess of Wales, and Dodi Al-Fayed, located in the Harrods still there after the owner of the department store had changed?” To tell you the truth, I didn’t even know there is the memorial however I had a chance to go to London on Monday so I dropped by. There is still there:



I also wanted to get the collaboration item “Hello Kitty and Harrods”. I checked it on web site and liked it however the actual item seemed very cheap. Well it costs around 8pounds so it’s not expensive but I can find better quality purse at 100 yen shop in Japan. Anyway I can’t come to London often so I decided to buy it. On the next day I was a bit hesitated to use it because it’s for kids and people may think I’m childish. However the clerk at the shop saw my purse and said, “I like your purse.” Now I enjoy using my new purse.

Hiking

Although it was not warm enough for an ideal hiking day, I enjoyed walking around a lake in a park.
