Moving on to the second round....

The last day of April 2015 has arrived and with that the last day of the first round of the G12 Adventures blog hosting. It has been a pleasure coordinating this initiative and reading all your posts, as well as sharing my random musings this month.

Thank you for all of you who have confirmed your blog hosting time-slots for the second round. There are a few who are yet to confirm but hopefully, will join in as well.

That is all from me for now.. except for a couple of photos that I share from a lovely weekend at Cumberland lodge earlier this year. The lodge is a 17th century country house at Windsor Park that has played important roles in the history of UK. In the post world war II era, Amy Buller shared her perspective in her book 'Darkness over Germany' that it was important to provide neutral, discussion spaces for university students to enable critical judgement. The royal family supported Amy Buller's initiative of starting up such a space in England and donated this country house for the cause. It is currently managed by a charity foundation of which the Queen is the patron. Being able to stay a weekend at this old and beautiful house, with a lot of history surrounding it, has been one of the highlights of my year so far in the UK. On a lighter note, some scenes from the movie 'King's speech' was also filmed here.

I will now return to my exam preparations and continue to miss the lovely spring around me in London :)
