Berwick-Upon-Tweed

act 1 : at home
"my grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf so it stood 90 years on the floor..." (repeated 5 times every 5 minutes!!!!!)
mushmoo misses that damn tune...
that was his damn irritating alarm tune on his mobile phone. it's so damn irritating that she finally dragged herself out of bed and went to wash up when she realised that today was trip day! they were going on a day-trip to the last English town, Berwick-Upon-Tweed (pronounced as Bear-rick-Upon-Tweed), before entering into Scotland.

when all was done... in the wee hours of morning, together they left the house for their half an hour walk into the city centre where they boarded an arriva bus from haymarket to Berwick-Upon-Tweed at 8.25am.
mushmoo misses the half hour walks...
note : no pics becos it was too early and no one was in the mood for pics yet.

act 2 : on the bus
the ride out to Berwick took approx. 2 and a half hours and being really sleepy... both fell asleep only to wake up at every stop the bus made to make sure that they didn't miss their stop.

one of the stops was at the town of Alnwick (pronounced as An-nick), where the infamous Alnwick Castle is located. What's so famous about Alnwick Castle? OMG... u must so be NOT a fan of Harry Potter to NOT know about Alnwick Castle.
Anyways, Alnwick Castle is HOGWARTS in the movie.

As they were on the bus and didn't stop at Alnwick, they only managed a fleeting shot of Alnwick. But they made a resolution to come up again to visit.
2 years from now eh? *winks*


recognise anything?

act 3 : Berwick-Upon-Tweed
finally after the long bus ride, they arrive at the town. She had just woken up and was feeling really extremely cold.


blur... behind that sleepy girl is the bus stand.


it looks big here don't u think?

well, it really isn't. It's just a quaint but sleepy little old town and they managed to walk around the whole town almost twice!


see how easy it was to get around the town!


a little view of the town from erm... forgot where.


berwick city hall... under construction.


the view of the wonderful railway bridge on which trains from the south would use to get to edinburgh, scotland. and the river tweed. which explains the "upon-tweed" part.


him being silly...
mushmoo misses his royal highness of silliness...

whilst walking around the ramparts, she was suddenly frightened when she heard voices from the cemetary below...


...and this is the church. see how gorgeous the light is shining in?

whilst walking around the town, she saw a pamphlet advertising the berwick bear musuem and she pestered him into taking her there...

...only to be disappointed by the size of it.


ze great berwick bear musuem.


more of a shop than a musuem.


she was hoping to find boyboy in that huge collection of bears! (who's boyboy? read previous post on LOST...)

the are a whole lotta of other places to see... namely the berwick barracks and all... but getting lazy edi, as u can obviously see... soo...


...
mushmoo miss smoomoo!
