来到ChristChurch,当然就是要看church咯~~顺提:澳洲,纽西兰,美洲也有christchurch的地名。可是这间church,早已升级变成priory。Priory的意思是指备修院,让修士们修道的教堂。早在11世纪,就已经有教堂在此,并且在建设的过程中,也蒙上些许神秘色彩。传说当Edward the confessor(国王)命人在此处建教堂时,有个神秘木匠出现,他勤奋工作,很少说话;每当领薪金或吃饭时间他都缺席。就有一段从NewForest采来的大木梁,长度短了一点而没办法架上塔顶作拱,这块木头又重又昂贵,所有工人在尴尬和疲惫中结束当天的劳动,可是当第二天工人返回现场时,这段粗木梁已经在塔顶,而且还超过预先需要的长度。这个神秘人就从此不出现了,他被誉为the carpenter Jesus Christ,这块木梁就叫the miraculous beam。
Christchurch这里除了有教堂,也有城堡,1100年Richard de Redvers下令建造,法国皇室后裔曾在此居住,英国皇室也曾在这些行宫宴客,由此促进经济繁荣发展。可是,历史变故和流光岁月,却毫不留情地慢慢吞噬着这些过去的辉煌,惋惜…感叹…
"Long this site has already been dominated by a castle.It was a legend saying:One day in 987,Edward,who was stag-hunting in Wareham forest,decided to pay a visit to Corfe,he was greeted by the Saxon Queen-Elfrida.who offered him wine,and then stabbed him in the back as he drank in order to succeed her son-Ethelred the Unready.William the conqueror built the 'Old Hall' in 1086,and his son Henry I built the keep(1100s).King John is responsible for the Gloriette(1204) and Edward I built the Outer and South West Gatehouses,2 Round towers of Henry III's gatehouse(1250).The castle withstood seiges and battles for 600 years.It was finally taken by Paliamentarians during the Civil War(1646).Since then the weather has taken its toll and regular repairs are now needed to keep it safe for visitors."
"Corfe Castle is built from local limestone known as 'Burr'.The name is thought to be from the French word 'beurre' meaning butter,as the stone is a rich creamny colour when first quarried.It was brought from open-cast quarries on the Purbeck limestone ridge,about 2 miles south of the castle."---Quote from the National Trust brochure.
早在罗马统治时,Corfe这个自然形成的高地就已经被将领们看上。只要霸占到其中一处,就可以准备攻击远处大草原入侵的敌人。法国诺曼底王朝,许多贵族逃亡或政治嫁娶来到英国。这些法国血统也在Corfe这里建城堡。形成之后正式建筑的初体。Corfe Castle建成后,曾经被誉为全英国最坚固的城堡,前期建筑,多为混乱的局势而建,城墙高耸稳固,寝室戒备森严,基督教思想也融于石材雕刻中。政治稳定后,则改为为皇宫,除供皇族出游打猎之歇息地,也曾在此多次举行中古时期鲜见的奢华大宴。据史料记载,King John花多于£1,400在这间城堡的建设上,追求更舒服,更华丽的居所。其子,Henry III于1244年更花巨额刷白外墙,使城堡看起来更气势庞然,并聘请画家工匠进行室内装潢,大量使用的色料属Henry III最喜爱,价码也最贵的绿色。1572年,伊丽莎白女王将此地转卖给Sir Christopher Hatton,在其居住至1588年西班牙宗教入侵时期,或提防英国内乱,在四周原有城墙处加建大炮垒。1635年传授予Sir John Bankes最高法院总领审判官。于1643至1646多次与国会敌对,在一次从Weymouth及Lulworth连夜潜入的国会军团的帮助下,最终被国会夺取,并在之后一个月投票判决使用火药,埋于城堡地基,引爆炸毁。直至1981年,H.J.R. Bankes将该废墟转让给National Trust,委托管理及修复仅存的部分。也被喻为现代最浪漫画面的废墟。入城门,原先为吊桥
第二天,安排好在礼拜天带他去参观parish church sacred heart of jesus。再到st。chad cathedral望弥撒,适逢该圣咏团结业礼,所以弥撒后还有额外献唱德文,英文,拉丁文歌曲,一整个爽!然后带他去参观了aston church。过后去吃午餐,经过看见arts market,所以之后又倒回来,还买了一件黑色的lace衣,减价到4磅,so cheap!然后为了避雨,走去一间超老的酒馆喝酒一下。过后又去bullring走了一下,怪无聊,又去st。anne望弥撒。
第三天,去了st。phillipe cathedral做日光浴和喂小鸟吃饼干,然后逛了一下victoria square,去了birmingham museum& arts gallery,花了大半天在看文物,连午餐都在博物馆吃了。之后还去运河边走走吹风,虽然这里的运河蛮脏的……一天又过去。
跟着去了TAMAN SARI WATER CASTLE,顾名思义,就是御澡堂,建筑手艺精湛,属满者伯夷时代印度教风格,可偏偏经历不起时间和天灾考验,是"沧海桑田"的有力证据!据史实考证,水宫四面还水,犹如出水芙蓉.有水机运河从河流渠水,再排出海外,可是,物在水非,还水的地方均变成平民百姓的住宅区,原因是火山地震造成地壳断裂,原先儲水的地方完全干涸.建筑群后期经修复,却撇弃传统手法,导致钢骨水泥破坏了原貌~~咳~~同时还去看家庭手工业,有一家 WAYANG KULIT是很精致,可是真的很贵,一只大概10cmX15cm的皮影卖RP200,000--大概RM80!!!很想买,真的很美;除非我疯了!!!
第三天,自由行.找人帮我按摩,随后又通过介绍,找到当地人带我们再去GANJORAN(去年地震灾区)看爪哇的第一间圣堂遗址,又去GOA MARIA TRITIS(圣母山洞),不错值得去看,可是路程很漫长...坐了大约6个钟头的车...
第四天礼拜,去过教堂后就搭公车到MIROTA BATIK HOUSE去找纪念品,买了一些本地也买到,却相对便宜的麻质桌布,装饰品回来,还带回一顶JAVANESE帽子...其实是头巾绑成的...中午去KESONGAN看陶瓷制作过程,傍晚就去PARANGTRITIS海边看日落,原本还想去游泳,可是一去到就被马粪熏到不敢走去沙滩...因为那里有很多教骑马,驾马车的小贩...海浪"来了",马粪就"不见了"!!!有点恶心,破坏气氛,可能促进海洋生态平衡...
上个拜六(13.01.2007)下午,无端端跑去sign in "Skype",结果就被一个法国人搭上了~他也很奇怪,一开口就问人家是不是'穆斯林'.跟本都不认识的两个人,却谈宗教课题,是有怪到的~可是更离奇的,偏偏就不会解释,还可以长篇大论地打出一堆字~说也奇怪,他还懂得回答:真是"神"呐!!!以下内容皆属实,看得明白者,自会觉得"牛头不对马嘴"~~

You think the world is quite beautiful, especially if you look at it in new and interesting ways. You tend to focus on color and movement in art. For you, seeing the big picture is much more important than recording every little detail. You can find inspiration anywhere... especially from nature.
Close to sun, Mercury has very long days - and is rarely visible to the rest of the solar system.
You are perfect to rule Mercury, because you live for the present - and can truly enjoy a day that goes on forever. Like Mercury, you are quick and elusive. Your wit is outstanding, and you can win any verbal sparring match.
Some people see you as superficial, but in truth, you just play many roles and have many interests. A great manipulator, you usually get what you want from people. And they're happy to give it to you.
