I know it has been absolutly agggggggeeesss since I updated this blog but things have just been so busy and getting back to everyday life after a long holiday always takes some time. Anyways before I start blogging about Brunei again, I though I will do a quick recap of what we did in the UK. We had soooo many people to see and so many things to fit in and there just wasn't enough time to do everything. Most of it was taken up with visiting people and shopping! But we did have a lovely time overall.
I have put all the pictures as a collage because there were just too many to upload and its easier this way. Just click on the picture to get a bigger view and you will be able to see them clearly (and if you click again it enlarges again).
1. Out and About
We missed the English countryside like CRAZY and wanted to spend as much time outdoors as we possibly could. So we went on a few walks in the Peaks (we live 20 minutes away) and had a few good picnics. The weather was beautiful and we really enjoyed it. I also managed to go to Alton Towers with my brother and sister and me and Zaheer also had a weekend away in Sheffield for the Tramlines Festival.
2. Family
More than anyone, I missed my niece and nephews the most. It had been a whole year and I was very excited to see them all. They had all grown up so much but cute as ever. I spent 2 weeks with them and still miss them. I also caught up with my parents and brothers and sisters.
3. Friends
We went to the Peaks for the weekend and stayed at a beautiful cottage with stunning views of the countryside with some of Zaheers friends. I also met up with mine a couple of times for a meal. It was nice catching up with them all and seeing how things were going for them.
4. My sisters wedding
This was the highlight of the trip. The first week back was my sisters wedding and it was hectic! The weddings in our culture last for a good long week, with every day being some kind of event or another but it was such fun! A good way of catching up with relatives and people who I hadn't seen in a while. My sister looked amazing and it was just a beautiful event.

I think you are very clever, how do you do collages? No don't tell me, I'm still coming to terms with uploading photos... Lovely Shamim, great to see the English countryside. I miss it so much. I can almost hear the birds on those bridal paths. Glad you escaped the cities for a little while.
