The Long Walk

Daddy took us to Windsor by train. Last week, we posed for daddy on the rock by the Copper Horse, the statue of King George III on Snow Hill, and we saw Long Walk towards the Windsor castle didn’t we?

先週、この岩場から眺めたLong Walk。
遠すぎてこの写真では見えませんが、長い長い道の先にウィンザー城があります。
今日はウィンザー城側からここまで片道４．２６ｋｍを往復歩きます！

Today, our plan was to walk this Long Walk from the castle to the Copper Horse & back.

さて、出発。お城の裏側の門越しにガードさんに聞いてみよう
「こんにちは。エリザベス女王はご在宅でございますか？」

Before starting our walk as we passed the castle gate I decided to say hello to the Queen. I asked the guards if the Queen was at home but they said she had gone out to get some milk. She doesn’t buy milk by herself does she? I think they were lying. Did I look like some dangerous terrorist or something?

「女王は牛乳を買いに出掛けてます」
エリザベス女王って自分で牛乳買いに行くん？ウソついてるよね、あのガードさん

Anyway we started walking towards Snow Hill. We walked and walked, and we saw the Copper Horse statue far away. Are we really walking up there? Are you sure daddy?

ダディ、あそこまで歩くん？　遠いよ！
遠く遠くの丘Snow Hillの上に立つ
The Copper Horse（King George III）の像が見えますでしょうか？

It seemed mummy and daddy were serious about it. Silky was very active and running abut all the time.
Oh dear...I’m thirsty. Give me some juice, daddy.



ダディ、のど渇いたー。ジュース頂戴・・・



Even though it was warm and I was thirsty Silky and I did good modelling here and there, and I gave my big smile for daddy.

暑いし、いっぱい歩いて喉がカラカラだけど、ダディの為にポーズ、そして満面の笑み

Woof...How long did we walk? Finally we reached Snow Hill. We walked up to the Copper Horse and said hello to King George III. I couldn’t say hello to the Queen today but I said hello to George so I am quite satisfied. Actually, I asked him to say hello to the Queen from me.

やーっと到着だーい！
ジョージににコンニチハ～して、
ついでにエリザベス女王にもよろしく伝えてねってお願いしました

Now, we had to walk the Long Walk back.

今度はこの道のりを戻ります。途中で大きな切り株に空いた穴を見つけて寛ぐCOCO姫

Daddy...I am tired. Can you carry me, please? However daddy was busy taking photos. Then I found a hole in a big log and got in to have a rest while daddy was taking photos. What photos is he taking? Woof!! Horse carriage!!

疲れたー。ダディ、抱っこしてくれへんかなぁ・・・あ、馬車だ！
「こんにちは、疲れてるから乗せて貰えませんかー？」
「ごめんねー、犬はダメなのよ」（って、本当に来聞いたわけではありません）

Excuse me! Can I have a ride please!! The ladies on the carriage were friendly and said hello to us but the answer to my request was “NO”. They said that no dogs were allowed. Being a dog is sometimes hard isn’t it?

Eventually we came back and had a good rest.

Do you know how long the Long Walk is, daddy? It is 2.65 miles (4.26 km) each way!! I think I will sleep very well tonight. Don’t disturb me, daddy.
