Reading, UK ................Memories (2)

Here are some very old photos of mom and dad, during their stay in Reading, UK, in the 70s. My father read his Masters at the University of Reading, these photos show him giving mom a tour of his old campus during their stay.

35 years later, they revisited Reading, while we went to UK for a family trip.

The city changed so much! Even my father could not recognize many of the old buildings he went for classes everyday. I was glad he and mom enjoyed their Reading nostalgia while the rest of us went exploring Cambridge.

This photo was taken in September 1978 

Photo taken at the same spot after 35 years

That's my father, looking smart in his early 30s...:)

Lady Bower, UK Trip 2013 (Day 2)

Spent a lovely morning to mid-afternoon hiking in the woods and hilly paths of the Ladybower Reservoir region. There were endless patches of greenery, water bodies, stone paths, and lovely wild flowers like Dandelions and Bluebells along the paths. The kids were delighted, and kept themselves busy with flower picking. We spent about 5 hours walking on various patches of the region including the peak region and the farm houses. The sight from the mountain top was magnificent!
