the holly in UK :)

Hiya! (that's how they greet each other there) haha. :)
i'm back from my holly :)
very happy that i can go visit my relatives and they brought me around. :)
first stop: to my grand-aunt's (dad's side)
that's her and that's their dog joey. he's such a gentle HUGE dog. :) my grandaunt carrying her grand-daughter aka my cousin. haha! the guy next to her is her eldest son. father of my cousin :) the babe next to me, my grandaunt's daughter. :)

Liam's family. i carried Eloise! such an adorable baby! :)

a pic with Tiff in the abbey gardens :)

Connor was always out. caught him before i missed him again. my grandaunt's youngest son. :) he's a chef! he does french!! :))

we stopped for tea very often while i was there. to rest the feet and keep ourselves warm. it was spring. but it was cold! for me at least. haha!

loved this! had to take a pic! hahaha! some thorntons' advert. VERY VERY atas chocolates. haha!

had a short but very sweet stay. i hope to head over again. and spend more time there with them. :) in the meantime, they'll be saving up to come over too! :p

headed over to my cousin's place (mom's side).

this is black castle. a place where the pubs were. chilled there for awhile.

then Karl's parents brought us to Cheddar town. yes! as in Cheddar cheese cheddar town :)

we had a BBQ on a day where the weather was really really cold. and Karl's dad gave me this. haha! he said it will keep me warm. now you know why ang mohs love to drink? haha!

i went to this event called the 'North Somerset Show'. it's this big big place where the locals, namely the farmers 'exhibit' their cattle or products or machines they used. had loads of fun looking around. :)

loved this animal! it's called the alpaca. it makes a sound that goes "mmmmmm". totally cute can! and their eyes and so big and nice!

this is why people call you a pig when you keep sleeping. ALL the pigs were in snooze mood. but they're SO cute! hahaha!

i tried the rosette wine. not very nice. haha! tasted like fruit juice. well, they say it's a ladies' drink :) so not much 'kick' haha.

this was taken in Cardiff bay in Wales

another stop for coffee :)

went into the cardiff castle! eye-opener. exquisite buildings. rich in history. love seeing such things. just laid on the grass on started snapping. haha :)

my cousin's shades. love it!

part of the castle

very very old books...

one of the stairways inside.many stairways inside. it would really be fun to play hide and seek in the castle. haha!

there was a museum on all the soldiers that help protect the royal family. and we got to try on some of it! :)

still in the castle :)

here comes the highlight. my cousin-in-law's car broke down! after much much tries. we decided to call for the tow truck. so i was towed back from Wales-Cardiff back to UK-Bristol! haha! i was really totally enjoying the experience. who would have thought that man? in a holly? my cousin was SO stressed out!

so the car broke down, can't be fixed. can't go further places. just headed to town. abit of a spoiler. but we still went out. headed to town twice. and did shopping! :)

then we took the train and headed to Bath. which was Karl's birthplace. :)

walked abit. moved about.

then the car still wasn't fixed. but that didnt stop me. haha! i had to move about! come on man. i'm in UK. can't expect me to just sit in a house and wait for my flight date. so i called my grand aunt again. :x hehe :P

and she so nicely agreed to bring my around London! :) went most of the tourist attractions. saw the London eye, walk around the parliament square. saw many churches, saw the palace. walked the shopping streets.

then before i had to fly back, she brought me to places in Suffolk. this picture below is a place where it is used for one of the scenes for the coming Harry Potter movie. haha! :P

loved the flowers on this building! my grand aunt told me it takes a long long time for it to be like this.

this is in London. the palace :) and yes. that is horse poo. a common sight there. haha!

that's about it.

all good things come to an end. i hope to go there again soon. i'll save :) hehe ;p

more pics are up on FB. go check it out. these are just some of my faves from the hundreds of pics. :)

as they say it there.

Cheers mate! XD

God bless! :)
