It was lovely day today. My host mother took her mother, ant, and me to the lovely villages and town in Cotswold, which named Bibury, Arlington, and Budford. These were not so far from Swindon by a car. At first, we visited an old and lovely hotel which looked a school and another hotel called Swan Hotel. These two hotels were full because wedding ceremonies were held there. Luckily, we could have a tea and scorns in Swan Hotel.
After that we walked around the village and bought some goods in a souvenir shop. There are lovely tea clothes, post cards, and lavender goods. Following it, we moved to Budford(?) town and enjoyed shopping. There were many tourists including many Japanese, so it was hard to find a parking space. Many lovely shops such as a cooking tool shop, wool cloth shop, sweets shop were there, all lovely. We had a good meal at a old hotel. I ordered a bowl of soup called butter squash and baguette. The soup was so delicious.
Any way, how many times I used “lovely”? Some women in England including my host mother often use this word. She explained me the reason, and it seems because they weren’t allowed to use a lot of “nice”. It is interesting because almost the same thing can be said in Japan. I think many Japanese people including me often use “Sugoi!” (or “Yabai!” by young people) when they are surprised, impressed, moved, happy, sometimes sad. Is it interesting, isn’t it?
