BONFIRE NIGHT ´21

Krásny piatok želám. Minulú sobotu sme sa prvý krát zúčastnili "Bonfire Night" alebo "Guy Fawkes Night". Moc sme si to užili a na to že už je november, tak nám nebola zima. Začínalo to o 6 večer, najprv zapálili vatru a popri tom tam mali plno atrakcií, kolotoče, jedlo a na záver ohňostroj ktorý bol nádherný.

A čo tento deň vlastne znamená ? Idem vám to trošku priblížiť.

And what does this day actually mean? I'm going to tell you more about it.

There are many festivals in the UK, people go to the streets, have fireworks, sing songs. You can also come and enjoy their traditional food, drinks, music and other activities.

DERWENT RESERVOIR & BLANCHLAND VILLAGE

Druhý deň sme sa vybrali na výlet do okolia. Mali sme v pláne ísť na hrad, ale zistili sme že od novembra je zatvorený pretože nieje sezóna tak sme nakoniec šli na prechádzku ku jazeru a potom sme navštívili malú dedinku Blanchland. Je ozaj maličká ale veľmi sa mi páčila. Našli sme tu aj malý obchodík so suvenírmy a hand made vecami. Ja strašne milujem takéto obchodíky tak sme si na pamiatku museli kúpiť nejaké drobnosti a nakoniec sme si tu dali aj obed a kávu v kaviarni, teda skôr čajovni. Bola útulná a ľudia tu boli veľmi milý. Za mňa to tu bolo krásne a určite odporúčam.

Second day we went on a trip to the surroundings. We planned to go to the castle, but we didn't know that it closed from November, so we went just for a walk to the lake and after we visited the small village Blanchland. Village is really small, but I really liked it. We also found here a small shop with souvenirs and hand made products. I really love such these shops, so we bought something as a souvenir, and also we had here lunch and coffee in a cafe, or rather a tea room. This place was cozy and the people here were very nice. It was beautiful for me and I definitely recommend it.

HOLIDAY

Krásny piatok prajem. Tento týždeň sme mali v práci na pár dní voľno a vravela som si, že keby sme boli na Slovensku určite by sme išli niekam na pobyt. A potom mi napadlo, prečo neísť niekde sem v Anglicku a spoznať tak nejaké nové miesta. Tak som zarezervovala hotel a keďže manžel bude mať čoskoro meniny, dala som mu to ako predčasné prekvapenie. Už veľmi dlho sme neboli na žiadnom pobyte ani dovolenke, tak sa veľmi teším že nám to vyšlo. V nedeľu sme si zbalili veci a v pondelok vyrazili na cestu. Bolo tam krásne a my sme si to naozaj neskutočne užili a oddýchli aj s našou štvornohou láskou.

Vybrala som tu len pár fotiek, viac foto aj info nájdete čoskoro v "Travel".

Chodievate takto na pobyty, dovolenky každý rok alebo len príležitostne ?

Have a nice Friday. We took a few days off from work and I said to myself, If we were in Slovakia, we would go on some trip. And then I thought "why not go somewhere here in England and get to know some new places"? I booked the hotel, and my husband will be have a name day soon, so I gave it to him as a surprise. We haven't been on holiday for a long time, so we were very happy. We packed our baggage on Sunday and start our trip on Monday. It was beautiful there and we really really enjoyed it and rested with our small

four-legged love.

I choose just a few photos here, so you will find more photos and information soon in "Travel".

Do you go on holidays every year or only occasionally?
