今天继续追寻PJG父亲的脚步，去了天涯海角(Lands’ End) 和毛斯尔(Mousehole)。今天是父亲节，说起来他过的还挺有意义的 😊 PJG开了有10个小时的车，真的很疯狂！在英国的乡间小路开车还真是特别，有很多小路过一辆车都很困难，根本无法错车，如果开到半路遇到对面过来的车，有一辆车就需要后退！不过其实这是一个很有意思的经历，我们今天只需要后退了一次 😅， 不过停下来让路有很多次。 这种事情似乎很平常，看起来英国人都习以为常了，每次小路错车或者让路后，对方的司机都会打手势表示感谢。其实总体来说在英国开车非常容易，因为大家都很遵守相同的规则，左车道开车，右车道超车，非常井然有的，这样更有效率和更安全。
Today we continued to pursue PJG father’s footsteps, we went to Lands’ End and Mousehole (pronounced Mouzel). Today is Father’s Day, he said it made it even more special 😊.
PJG drove the car for 10-hours, really crazy! The country roads in England are really different! There are many small tiny roads and passing cars is very difficult, sometimes impossible since it barely fits one car. In some cases, one car has to back up all the way down the road to a wider spot to let the others pass! But still this is a very interesting experience, we only needed to back up once 😅 today, but stopped many times to make way for another. This kind of thing seems to be commonplace here, and it seems that the British are accustomed to it as every time we pull to the side, or give way, each driver will gesture to each other to express their gratitude. In fact, it is very easy to drive in England because they all follow the same rules, driving in the left lane, overtaking in the right lane, very orderly, so it is more efficient and safer.
天涯海角 Lands’ End
Lands’ End是英国最南端的一个点，中文名的翻译还真浪漫呢。James的父亲也是在1949年的时候去过。这里的景色也是非常的美，有碧绿的草原，磅礴的大海，奇奇怪怪的岩石等等。可惜的是今天的天气不是很好，时不时的下雨，而且雾很大，没能看到海上的景色。
The Lands’ End is one of the most southerly points in Britain, and the translation of Chinese names is really romantic – in Chinese it translates to “The Ends of the Earth”. James’ father went to this same place in 1949. The scenery here is very beautiful, there are green grasslands, majestic rolling seas, strange rocks and much more! Unfortunately, today’s weather is not very good, from time to time the rain, and the fog is so bad we could not even see the sea.
毛斯尔 Mousehole
这是一个小渔村，PJG的父亲和姑姑在1949的时候来过这里。中文名没有直译，如果直译的话应该是“老鼠洞” 😅😅😅。 漫步在小渔村里让我突然有了在丽江的感觉，那种窄窄的巷子，那种石路，石头上的苔藓，那种悠闲自然的感觉，那种花花草草点缀的人家，虽然风格不一样，但美丽风景给人的感受是相同的 😊 感觉英国人对历史很尊重，有很多房子有几百年的历史，虽然有些会破旧不堪，但是都会保留下来，而且有人就居住在里面。这里有一个房子有500多年的历史，有一个小饭馆也有160多年的历史。反思一下国内的情况，如果是老到160年，在里面居住的人会想方设法的拆建翻修了。
This is a small fishing village that PJG’s father and aunt came to in 1949. The Chinese translation is just based on the pronunciation; it would be fun if the translation was based on the English characters, because it actually would be “mouse hole” 😅😅😅. Walking through the small fishing village makes me suddenly feel like I’m in Lijiang (a famous small town in China); the narrow alleys, the cobblestone road, the stone moss, and the kind of leisurely and natural feeling of the town. The kind of flowers and grass here are an embellishment of the people, although the style is not the same, the beautiful scenery gives me the same feeling. 😊 I feel the British have a respect for their history – there are many houses which are hundreds of years old, although some have become worn out, they have still been preserved, and some people still live in them! There is a house here with more than 500 years of history and a small restaurant has been here for more than 160 years! Compared it with China, a 160 years old house in China, the people living there would find a way to tear it down and rebuild to make it new, instead of preserving the history.
这里是小而精致的美，有很多会人流连忘返的小细节，可惜PJG计划停留在这里的时间很短，如果有机会希望再来一次能够更多的了解这里。
This place completely illustrates the unique and exquisite beauty of Cornwall; there are many people here who stay to explore every small detail, but PJG and I only planned to stay here only for a short time. If there is a chance, I would like to come here again to more fully understand this unique place.
Love the pictures!
Thank you Rose!
