WW: The Italian Gardens

Assalamualaikum

Kensington Gardens (KG) is enormous. After finished eating our Taza kebabs, we went to explore the Italian Garden. This gorgeous water garden was built 150 years ago which was a gift from Prince Albert to his beloved Queen Victoria. :)

Enjoy the pics!

Daffodils along the way to Italian Gardens so wajib buat photoshoot kejap! so ceria and mood ada baik juga. hihihi

My cheeky boy and I. Nway, It was early Spring time so only some daffodils already bloomed. Klu sume tgh bloom at the same time mesti lagi nice, kan.

Hihi i love this pic! Thanks Sayang! ^_^

Sebab utama tak nak bergambar dgn ummi. They were chasing the squirrels!! Can you see the little poor thing? ;D

Londoners and the fully-bloomed cherry blossom trees. :)

Finally, here we are! Gotta love the beautiful landscape designed by James Pennethorne. ;)

as soon as we entered the garden, the first thing my eyes laid to was this bed of flowers especially the purple Tulips. Me likey!!!

so gorgeous, aren't they??....:)

Hoho London maraton hihi. nway nampak tak kendi (urns) kat belakang tu? ianya antara special features of Italian Garden. Penyeri gitu..hihi

zoom in sket. Katanya ada five main design kendi-kendi ni such as The Swan's Breast, woman's head, ram's head, dolphin and oval. for more info, kindly Google. :P

and this old and worn out fountain is the central attraction of all..tp dry plak masa ni..huhuu. 

and also sexy statue...so sila amik gmbr ni sambil pejam mata. hihihi 

lepas tu dapat tengok swan dgn telur2 dia..;)

gorgeous creature, subhanallah! 

The Long Water aka the Serpentine river flows through Kensington Gardens into Hyde Park...so serene. and that's why the Italian Gardens is also known as the water garden. 

skodeng swan :D:D:D

ada sorg tu dah terlepas ok!!! aduihai....mujurlah Babah dpt 'tgkp' huhu..and lucky the fountain tak keluar air ketidak basah kuyup.

wildlife at Serpentine :)

and lastly but not least...the photo of the day by Mrs. IshamIzu hihi

So that's all for Italian Gardens. ^_^

Actually there are other attractions at KG such as The Albert Memorial, The Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Walk, Diana Memorial Playground (already went and will share about it next time in shaa Allah ;)), Kensington Palace, The Peter Pan Statue, Serpentine Gallery, and etc. Just to name a few..

Hopefully, we can visit other attractions. Really wish to visit Kensington Palace plak..:)

The Best Kebab in London :-)

Assalamualaikum

I have been very occupied this month. Starting with my girls going back to school after summer break and then one by one fell sick after Zafri had viral fever (and still in recovering process though). It's Autumn now so it is getting cold day to day. Brrr!

Also, we have guests aka new student and his family who just came from Malaysia. We kindly let them stay with us temporarily while they find a house to rent. But Alhamdulillah they have already found one and they will be moving in to their house today, in shaa Allah. So we will have a new Malaysian neighbour, yay! :)

Anyway, I am still searching for my blogging mood to really come back hehe. As in now, I will share about the best Kebab in town. ;-)

There are so many Kebab kiosks in London. But if you are in Central London, and happen to be at Bayswater to buy the cheapest souvenirs, do try Taza Kebab! They are so delicious!!!

I'm not a fan of Kebab before but hubby is. But I have surrendered to Taza Kebab. Tell you, one kebab is just not enough for myself hehe..but if i have the second, I couldn't finish since the portion is quite big. But my hubby will always be there and happy to finish it for me...heheheh.

Taza Kebab. Halalan Toyyiban ;-)

Hmm, can you see the juicy lamb meat there? :D

Across the road, there is Costcutter (Zahin sebut Cost cuter hihihi) Oriental Supermarket where we buy Tempe, Kicap Kipas udang, some curry spice from Malaysia etc. ;D

Budak baik baru bangun Tido (tgn kiri-kanan pegang car ;)), waktu ni 'enjin' blom panas lg :P

The menu. We always opt for the first one because it's their best and it's absolutely the best! 

You can dine in or out..and also Taza Kebab ni satu deret dengan Whiteleys, Queensway station (nearest) and Bayswater station. Sepanjang jalan ni and across the road ada banyak kedai souvenir. Heaven! ;)

For us with kids, we prefer to enjoy our Kebabs here, Kensington Gardens during early gorgeous Spring time. Only 5 minutes walking distance from Taza's. ;)

Hmm bila kt park, bebas berlari la si kenit2 ai ni...hihihi aren't they cute and happy? 

Owh, ni la kebab lamb shawarma..tp sorry dah tinggal separuh baru teringat nak amik gmbr. Kes lapar sgt la ni...hehe

and this drink dah lama gila tak jumpa/minum..when we saw it at that Oriental Supermarket, we grabbed it! ;D 

en hubby bila makan kebab Taza, dah tak pandang kiri-kanan lg la hehehehe..and hubby kata dia makankan utk kawan2 dia yg suro makankan utk derg klu dpt gi UK lg. so he did for a favour ;D

cheeky boy in action, hehe rambut panjang lg masa ni because we went there in last May 

Lepas makan, minum plak...

Lepas dah makan minum, masa untuk 'terbang' and expore the park plak..;-)

In shaa Allah, i will try to update more about Kensington Gardens or other story...will see. hehe.

Ok, have a nice weekend ahead! :)

Ps. Actually, Today is the birthday of my other half. Happy birthday, Sayang! ;) and on last 17th Sept was my big girl's birthday. Happy birthday, Zahin! Mmuahhh. Love u both till Jannah. :) I am Still waiting for the right time to throw your birthday bash..hopefully, lepas ni dah tak busy and sume org dah sihat walafiat. amin!

Hello Spring!

Assalamualaikum

The real Spring has just began. It has been a week we had sunny days here. No more winter coats. It's playground and swimming-pool time. Wee, so happy! The flowers also blooming everywhere. It smells really nice when i walked to pick the Eins at school yesterday. Then i remember that i haven't take any pictures of flowers yet. :)

So later when i saw my beloved son having good time under the sun at the backyard...i quickly ran upstairs and took my camera. Without further a due, i started shuttering on Zafri and the flowers being the main subject of the assignment. The backyard suddenly turns to be lovely and i simply called it 'Secret Garden'! 

 the boy who had longed long for  Mr. sunshine :D

The Secret Garden ;)

Dandelions (yellow) and unrecognized blue and purple flowers :D

mcm Lavender

just pretty blue 

dandelion, one of the unique flowers..

see, ada petals n tthen later tukar jadi kekapas putih sebelum diterbangkan oleh angin

beautiful roses in full bloom :)

Zafri was checking dandelions closely :D

 main tarik-tarik lalang..

lepas tu main pijak-pijak dandelion tu plak ..huhu

"You take care D, I got to go now."- Zafri

There goes the tale between them. The tale of secret garden. hehehe.

Of all the seasons, i love Spring the most. But hubby likes Autumn. Well, everybody have a right to choose. So we must respect of each other's choice. ;)

Lastly, selamat mengundi on this coming PRU13 on 5th of May! Unfortunately, we miss it this time..but Allah knows best!

Wassalam
