During the last Christmas and New Year holiday, we explored several villages, coastal towns and castles. Among all the interesting site seeings, the most impressive thing to me is actually a smaller and more common feature: the medieval timber houses. What impress me is not only that the 600-700 years old houses are still breathing (people are still living inside them), but also how commonly you can see them!
英国乡村--遍地中世纪木屋民居
圣诞新年假期，我们参观了英南附近几个乡村、古堡和海滨小镇。其中最让我赞叹的是随处可见的中世纪木屋。传承六七百年的它们尚未退休去博物馆，而依然是人们的家园。木屋狭小且层距矮，住在那而非更便利的另起炉灶，原因之一是许多这些屋子传承自祖先，人们对其有感情。另外古屋的所有人在法律上有维护它们的义务，否则会被起诉。我感动于这片土壤上人们的恋旧和对文化的保护。
