Taste the beauty of Beamish



這是小豬人生的第一個暑假,從他一月入幼稚園以來。


萬萬沒想到,第一個暑假過得這麼精采。精采到想講的波蘭餐廳、城中市集、幾天前有晚霞的落日....都來不及講。更別提我那個永遠也講不完的院子,花朵跟蜜蜂。即使雨水特多,天公根本沒打算把這夏天當夏天搞。

先來掛今日撈到的Beamish一遊,又要謝謝晶晶一家的招待,看著三個孩子漸漸可以玩在一起,實在很感激有這樣的好朋友跟好鄰居。

我最大的第一個驚訝是,風景真美麗。本來對可以帶孩子去的遊樂場都期待不多,沒想到這個如此豐富多趣。這才想起其實好幾年前瑪格麗特在A1路過大鳥人(Angel of the North)時就說過,那附近有一個口碑很好的博物館,裡面有真人扮演十九世紀的模樣走動,講的就是這個啦。

晶晶媽在甜蜜媽要走的那一年也開始提,提到去年的耶誕節,我都有聽沒體驗,也沒把這些資料在腦袋湊在一起,直到這回自己看到。真的,說到把老東西留下來變博物館,英國人、歐洲人都很在行。

不過這回可是活的喔,有人真的演給你看,還可以坐上冒煙的煤炭蒸氣火車、雙層電車到處跑,到小學教室用碳筆跟墨水針筆寫字,看學徒用老器具現作糖果.....

更不用提到老鎮上晃晃,摸馬、看羊、瞧豬跟綠地野餐了。

佔地龐大,連小學都好漂亮。



不過英國房子實在沒有大變化,尤其是隔間,裝潢也是,像這種模樣,就老讓我想到只有在沒地震的國家,瓷器才能活得這麼囂張。




這是小豬跟晶晶在一百多年前的小學桌椅上寫字。晶晶真的有寫出字,豬小子在亂畫符。



這羊,是為了小鵝媽照的,先說聲哈羅,等你將來自己摸。



這張是看到卻來不及開相機的馬車,拍到時馬頭已經被樹叢遮了......

其他的喔,來日漫長,存著冬天用吧。

Beamish, The North of England Open Air Museum is an open-air museum located at Beamish, near the town of Stanley, County Durham, England. The museum's guiding principle is to preserve an example of everyday life in urban and rural North East England at the climax of industrialisation in the early 20th century.
Much of the restoration and interpretation is specific to the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, together with portions of countryside under the influence of industrial revolution in 1825. On its 300-acre (120 hectare) estate it utilises a mixture of translocated, original and replica buildings; a huge collection of artifacts, working vehicles and equipment; as well as livestock and costumed interpreters.
The museum has received a number of prestigious awards since it opened its present site to visitors in 1972 and has been influential on other "living museums". It is a significant educational resource, and helps to preserve some traditional north-country and rare livestock breeds.
