今日はとっても良いお天気で特に予定もなかったので、久しぶりに、West Dean に行って来ました。前回行ったのがいつだったのか思い出せません、自分のブログを検索したら今年はアップしていないっぽいので、1年くらい行っていなかったのかもしれません。メンバーシップはとっくに切れていたので、新しくメンバーになりました。車で20分くらいと近いのでもっと頻繁に行けそうなのですが、出不精のわたしたちはお友達と行くお約束でもないと、なかなか出かけないのですよね。

As it's been a lovely day today and we didn't have any chores or appointments, we went to West Dean in the afternoon.   I cannot even remember when we were there last.  I searched on my blog but didn't find any post on it this year, so maybe we hadn't been there for almost a year?  The membership wasn't valid so we got a new membership.  It's only 2 0 minutes by car from us, you would think we'd be there more often but we both love staying home so we don't often go out unless we have an appointment with a family or friends.

一番綺麗な時期は過ぎていましたが、ダリアがたくさん咲いていたのと、デルフィニュームも結構咲いていました。デルフィニュームは初夏に咲いて、今は2回目なので、それほど背は高くなかったです。我が家のデルフィニュームは去年は秋にも咲きましたが、今年は1つ咲いただけでした。

Although the best time has passed, dahlias were looking great and so many kinds of them.  We saw some delphiniums as well but they were not very tall or impressive as this is their second flash.  Our delphiniums flowered twice last year but only one of them flowered in autumn this year.

ぶらぶら歩きにちょうど良いお天気だと思ったのですが、太陽が顔を出すと日陰でない限り日傘をさしていてもかなり暑かったです。陽が翳ると今度は風があると寒くてジャケットか何か羽織らないと寒い。でも、お天気が良いので緑がとっても綺麗でした。今年の夏は旱が長く雨が降らなくて困る、というお天気ではなかったので芝生も枯れず綺麗です。

I thought it would be a very comfortable temperature to walk today, but it was actually very hot when the sun was out even with a parasol, then got chilly when the sun was hidden by some clouds so you needed a jacket or something.  Still, with such beautiful weather,  the place looked very green and beautiful.  We didn't have many hot days without rain this summer so the lawns were very green.

 

秋咲きのクロッカスもちらほら。

Some autumn crocuses were out, too.

 

ぶらぶらと歩いたあとは、カフェでお茶。レモン・ドリズルケーキをシェアー。ふんわり、しっとりで美味しかったです。

After walking around, we had tea at the cafe and shared a pice of lemon drizzle cake, which was fluffy and moist and very good.

 

車でほんの20分走ればこんなに素敵な自然の中でのんびり過ごせる、という嬉しい環境です。というより、どこに行っても自然が一杯、自然に囲まれて生活しています。つい、今日もランチを食べながらこの辺りは田舎で美味しいカフェやレストランがほとんどないので、あれほど美味しくないと文句たらたら言っていたけれど、シンガポールのようにカフェやレストランが数え切れないくらいあってタクシーのちょこっと乗って行ける環境は羨ましいね、なんて話していたところですが、こんな風に緑に囲まれて暮らして行けるのもなかなか良いものです。何もかも手に入れるのは無理ですもんね。

We are very lucky to have such a lovely place to go to within 20 minutes of a drive from us.  Actually we are surrounded by beautiful nature here.  Just this afternoon, wile we were having lunch at home, we were saying how we miss the environment, where you can just take a short ride of a taxi and go to one of hundreds of cafes or restaurants like in Singapore and we miss that, but we realise we cannot have everything and feel very lucky to live in such a beautiful area.
