Postscript

It was my wife who told me about traveling abroad. Thank you.
I was helped a lot by what the senior Ransamites wrote on their websites, and it was a fun expedition with many discoveries.
The best part was actually being able to walk around the rivers, lakes, and mountains that had become so familiar to me through Ransome's books. For example, I was able to row a small boat to my long-awaited Wildcat Island, sail a boat on the Bure River in the Coot Club, experience both low and high tide in the Secret water, discover Doghouse in the forest, and climb a rocky mountain and walk all over the High Tops - all were wonderful experiences.

windermere It all started a long time ago. My wife asked me if there was anywhere I wanted to go if we were to go on our first trip abroad together. I replied, "I'll go with you if we go to Windermere," and then I started researching the Lake District. That's how my first trip abroad with my wife in 1998 was decided to be to England. At the time, I only knew that the setting of the story "Swallows and Amazons" was probably around Windermere, but I had no idea where in England the lake was, or even the word Lake District. As with my domestic trips, I decided to stay at YouthHostels, and the rest was just a carefree trip with just a flat-rate train ticket, a BritRail Pass, and an airplane ticket. On the shores of both Windermere and Coniston water, I put both hands on the water and was overjoyed that I had finally come. And I'll keep it a secret from my wife, who won't read Ransom, that I was moved to tears when we reached the North Pole, the place Dick and Dorothea reached in a snowstorm in "Winter holiday"
The 2003 expedition you saw here was a solo trip. I was alone, which is why I was able to go to places I couldn't with my wife, walk on rocky mountains, and set off without making lodging reservations.

The words "Three cheers for Wildcat Island," which John wrote on this website, appear at the end of "Swallows and Amazons." This is the scene where the children say goodbye to Wildcat Island at the end of summer, and the Swallows and Amazons go their separate ways.

As they passed Houseboat Bay,Cpatain Flint rowed out to them to say good-bye once more.
"Good-bye,"they shouted.
"Till next year,"he shouted back.

Without losing the hearts of children, and Come back here at any time. Forever.

It's difficult for me not good at english, but little by little started to make a page in English Website. The opportunity, I had that I tried to call how this Web site will look from YH Czech. But meaningless symbol had lined up can not be displayed at all Japanese on the screen.
This is of such because the computer that I had not used did not correspond to the Japanese.
From my experience, also, in the hope to read people of England who helped me, and began the creation of the English page also serves as a study of my own. I have modified little by little mistakes of grammar. Page of Japanese is also a state of insufficient still, but enjoy doing the difficult English composition.
There may be such a lot of grammatical mistakes. If you would have the advice and pointed out.
How I did not know much to be investigated in the dictionary, How would write out in English the voice of sheep "Mee Mee", and the voice of the duck "Gue gue".
(Later,I had a United States-born person teach this. Duck crows "quack quack", and sheep barks "baa baa". )
