A Very Brief Unplanned Trip



It is Sunday today and since it was re-opened a few weeks ago, we were back to our previous Sunday trip - where else but Errol Airfield - the Most Happening place to us - at least it is true as far as our household is concerned. :-D

And this time, we went there with two other families - Taufik/Aeni (our Tok Penghulu) and Azhar/Fiza (who finally got their car yesterday - such, it was a first family trip for them).

Well, enough said, our trip to Errol went without incident - everyone was excited as there are more car booties this week than the previous.  And the weather? Sunny though a little cold - but not as bitter - in short, bearable. My best find today? A three-tiered wooden drawer for £4. We also managed a large size Teddy Bear, a smaller pink rabbit, two duvet sets, four pillow cases, two new pillows, a pair of brown pants for Aqil, a newish sweater for Danish, a purple notebook, a collared T-Shirt and a pair of trousers for Mi - Guess what? All these for just £1 - not bad huh? It's a stall which sells everything-you-can-fit-in-a-bag for £1. And today, we were given the big garbage bag by the stall owner and we went crazy! Trust me - it's kind of theraputic! And finally, Mi managed to get himself a new pair of trainer to replace the one which was stolen at Edinburgh Mosque last Boxing Day.

Just before we left Errol, Tok Penghulu suggested for us to detour to St Andrews before going home. Everyone agreed.  So, off we went to St Andrews. And this time, the weather is so much better and we stopped by at the beach.  Here are some of the photos taken :

                    Letting our hair hangs down? :-D Technically
                                                    



                             I really love the above two photos!!!


              Fathi - He refused to leave until his photos were taken
              Cute huh? :-D


               Aqil - Wanted to strike a pose but worried as his
               friends were leaving

Well, though it was not a planned trip, which we did not prepare any picnic basket, we have to leave early. But enough to keep the children happy - you see, short as it may be, they were quite eager to get into the car - it started getting colder.

  1. just what the weekend should be with the family - enjoyable and meaningful. That reminded me of my routine weekend activities with family and friends while doing my Jihad. Yess...car boot has really do wonder to our financial well-being. Think of what RM1 can buy us in the Bolehland...so keep buying and shopping and 'borongin' (at car boots) till you drop!

    I like that wavy and gray grass shot! This Spring take some with sea of lavenders lah pulok.

    Zayda said, you might as well enjoy that stress-free family moment to the fullest as back home it is only in our dream :)

    Have a nice weekend.

    Well, we found car boot is really an answer to some of our needed purchase. We try to avoid the shops (with the exceptions of some charity shops in Dundee and some better ones in St Andrews) as the price could be quite high.

    Oh yes, will have one in the lavender field :-D

    How right Sis Zayda is :-D Here, though busy with our studies (me) and work (Mi) we still have time to get involved with our children's activities. And except for Mondays and Tuesdays (where I have classes to attend almost the whole day), we have our meals together. Can't ask for a better way of life, huh? :-D

    Thank you :-D Hopefully the weather is better this weekends - we are planning to go to Broughty Ferry. The snow cleared almost a month ago but now, it's showing signs of coming again - the children had started going through frost on their way to school since the beginning of the week. I am just hoping for a wonderful spring now :-D
