A day at the Clarkson's places.
Some of you will Know Jeremy Clarkson from the TV series "Top Gear, Grand Tour, Clarkson's Farm". I thought it was time for me to see these places as they are right next door to my home town, also my wife wanted to see Diddly Squat farm. The years before it was always closed in winter so we never really had a chance, but this year i noticed it was open and there wouldn't be many people there in winter. Whilst we were there we actually met Gerald (the man that very few people can understand when he talks), My wife was so excited to met him she was screaming and jumping up and down. It was a good day out and met many people there.

@Evelyne Vincent She was too excited to think of that.
Cheltenham, England.
This is the town i grew up in and spent most of my life, it is a small town and famous for its horse racing. These pictures were taken in the middle of the week, so not many people around (mind you, there isn't a lot of people on the weekend either). There is only one shopping mall which never gets really busy, the clock at the end used to blow bubbles and play music on the hour.

@Evelyne Vincent England as no one speaks English in China (or never thinks of it)
@Evelyne Vincent no worries
The Trump effect!
In my area of the country (England) but especially Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, it is now known that many Stars (famous people) are buying property in this area because it is so quiet and rural. Here is the list and connections they have: Notable Residents 1. Jeremy Clarkson: The former Top Gear presenter resides in Chipping Norton and is known for his love of the countryside. 2. Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen: The flamboyant interior designer lives in Siddington, near Cirencester, and is a well-known figure in the design world. 3. Kate Winslet: The Oscar-winning actress lives in Church Westcote, where she enjoys the peaceful rural life. 4. J.K. Rowling: The author of the Harry Potter series has a strong connection to the Cotswolds, often drawing inspiration from its landscapes. 5. Sir Patrick Stewart: The Star Trek and X-Men actor owns a mansion in the Cotswolds and is known for his involvement in local community issues. 6. Beyoncé and Jay-Z: The power couple is reportedly looking to purchase a property in the Cotswolds, adding to the area's celebrity allure. 7. Dom Joly: The comedian and television presenter has lived in the Cotswolds for over a decade, enjoying the rural lifestyle with his family. 8. Elizabeth Hurley: The actress and model has previously lived near Cirencester, contributing to the area's celebrity status. 9. Prue Leith: The Great British Bake Off judge resides in Moreton-in-Marsh and is known for her culinary expertise. 10. Tom Cruise: Rumors suggest that the Hollywood star is considering a move to the Cotswolds, which would add to the list of A-listers in the area.
@Chen Willow It is said that they are running from Trump.
@Alex Understated I didn't know there were so many famous people around here either!🤭
Gloucester Cathedral.
Yeah it's a church, but there is something special about this Cathedral. Certain parts of this Cathedral has been in many movies, why this Cathedral i don't know but it has. One movie that it has been in and the movie is very famous around the world, and that is the Harry Potter movie. For those of you that are fans of Harry Potter, it was the second movie (chamber of secrets (i think it was also pictured in the first one as well)) where it was pictured the most. Here's some gossip that not many people know about Beatrix Potter! Beatrix Potter was a distant relative of the Kate Middleton (Princess of Wales / Wife to Prince William)

@Chen Willow I get people asking me all the time about Harry Potter!
I'm wondering ...
I wonder if you can see constellations where you live. I live in Korea, near Seoul. I can only see one or two stars.....—actually, I can count all the stars up there. She’s under the stars. It’s amazing. You can see Orion, Gemini, Cassiopeia, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, and even Jupiter. Right? Under the Swiss sky.
I'm wondering ...
@Linus Z That's almost what it can be like here on a good night!
@Linus Z I guess you don't know English weather 🤭 it is nearly cloudy all the time, so getting to see it is rare.
