Cycling at Parsley Hay

Sunday evening, walking with chee ming to meet Chaou Choak at Sheffield train station, then we took a train to meet Aunty Ruth in Chesterfield. We arrived at Chesterfield train station around 8.50pm, but Aunty Ruth will only able to meet us at 9.30pm. We should have take later train but it would take around 30 min to reach chesterfield instead of 15min as asual. So we decided to arrive earlier in Chesterfield to wait for another 40 min.

Thank God for the waiting time, so that Chaou Choak and I were searching info leaflets at the kiosk and found the cycling info leaflet!

We had a home-cooked dinner in Aunty Ruth's house. We all were startving, and when the time we finished the dinner was already around 11.30pm. Gosh ... and then Aunty Ruth was asking us what did pastor preached in the morning ... when Chaou Choak was telling Aunty Ruth what about. I felt into sleep on th sofa in dining room. I was so tired as I did not take any nab in the afternoon after came back from church, blame lizhi!

Next day, early in the morning, after we took our breakfast, we plan what we should have for our picnic later on in Parsley Hay. Then Aunty Ruth searched all the stuff in her cupboard to look for anything possible to cook for later picnic. We found vermicelli and spagetti. We decided to fry vermicelli and the meat balls. Chee Ming, Choau Choak and I prepared the ingredients and fry our lunch. Aunty Ruth was trying to cook but we chased her away to go for her shower.

The taste not as expected because the vermicelli made the whole cooking tasteless. But Chee Ming found chilli oil in Aunty Ruth's cupboard, muahahaha!!! ... Hmm, good, it helps a lot. When we were having our cooking, pastor called and asked us where we going later, as the day was Bank Holiday, public holiday for all England. We told pastor our plan and he said he will ask his son whether want to go or not.

11am, we went on our journey to Parsley Hay. I will be dizzy if i read in the car, and Aunty Ruth asked me to read map for her since I sit in front. Gosh...! I was dizzy all my way to Parsley Hay. It was a traffic jam along the way from Chesterfield to Bakewell, as there was a festival in Bakewell, and a lot of people heading to Bakewell. It took us about 2 hours to reach Parsley Hay. The weather was awesome! Pastor reached there 15 min after we arrived, he was quick! As he avoided the traffic jam in Bakewell. Smart him!

When we reached Parsley Hay, there is no more bicycle for rent as it's all out. So they asked us to come back at 2pm and see whether anyone return the bicycle. We got it finally at 2pm!!! Thank God. Only Choau Choak, Chee Ming, Nataniel and I went for cycling. Pastor, Si mu and Aunty Ruth didn't want to cycle as they said they will afraid they do not have such stamina to do it. But pastor said he will try it one day next time... haha, ya ya ya ... when we went for cycling, pastor and the rest went for shopping in Buxton, gosh! ...

It was a good day for such outing ^_^ Thank God for the day!
