Re-visiting Marsden, England/Carlos Pueblo
During my 6
days stay in Manchester, England, I have visited three
beautiful
townships outside of the city limit. Marsden is one of two
cities which
I have visited twice, the other one is Marple. There is a
spring
festival at town called Cuckoo Festival which drives me back.
I met a lady
at a church who recommended come back on the next
morning for
the festival and I didn’t mind to re-visit the unit and lovely
town. It was
a raining day, cold and miserable. I went to the church to
attend the
early activities, art shows of three painters, singing and
dancing
groups, etc. They were all the local performers. After finishing
their
performance at the church, they moved outside to several places
at the city
center. There was a dog right by a creek and playing with
fishes and
made some noise and I wondered if the owner was absent
because that
was almost freezing.
Inside the
city library, there was a group of instruments players line up
Seated to
ply some popular songs to entertain full auditorium crowds
and selling
foods to the audients. It was raining and miserable outside.
I also
visited another church closed to the abandoned factory, a mountain
rescue team
showed the equipment and also another children performers
presented a
show inside the church. I decided to go back to the canal and
walked back
toward the canal museum and the tunnel.
I missed my
lost leather gloves at my last cruise. I forgot to check drawers
in the stateroom
and left there. The wool pairs didn’t make me feel warm
enough. I
walked back to the train station and further on another direction.
Even though
that was in rain, I still felt very fortunate to visit the lovely
town twice.
It always reminds me a classical piece of Chinese literature about
a paradise
of a peach glove somewhere deep outside of the civilization and
the local
residents keep their old tradition cloths and life style, etc. generation
after
generation. I am amazed that Close is used as a street after the name of.
