Holaaa..I'm back finally..fuh..soo tired..but really happy..
actually we arrived home on monday..but loads of things to settle b4 i got the chance to blog..
spent a week tour around UK..but still tak habis pun..
Well gonna blog till yg mampu..loads and loads of pics to upload..maybe i'll explain a lil in between..afterall a picture says a thousand words rite?
Enjoy!


Our first destination..
MANCHESTER

Well initially planned to spend our first nite in Birmingham, but unfortunately hub's fren went back to Msia..so we headed straight to Manchester..
I heard this is one of the big city in UK..furthermore both my PIL studied here..and so were my aunty and uncle..actually they were housemates..what a small world!!..mase mula2 kenal hubby tak tau pun..and then one of my aunt's friend told her..and so on..lastly discovered that my aunties and uncles who studied in the the UK knew each other..in fact i found my MIL pic in one of my aunt's album..(zaman dolu2..pic pun black n white!) haa melalut dah...
ok back to this trip..
On Tue evening we drove to Manchester..thanx to K.Nofri for a lovely B&B(she was my senior back in STJ..but we met again b4 she flew to UK)..in fact included dinner!!We reached there quite late..around 9.30pm..so after chatting a bit we doozed off...

next morning..got ready around 10 am..took the tram to the city centre..

Cheetham Hill

Tram Station..

Jalan2 around town and we decided to go to Manchester University..(Adib nk show Opah Jijah and Tok Am the pics)

so there u go..previously known as UMIST..
(byk lg pics..tak larat nk upload..but most of it avail in my FB)

Then went around city centre..Manchester Piccadilly, Piccadilly Garden and so on...

Piccadilly Garden

Tak ingat la nama tempat nih..org Manchester tolong buleh tak??hehe..
we went to this spot after St.Ann's Garden and Luncheon at halal Subway..
then cont to The Triangle..
(my friend kate tempat shopping posh..David Beckham's shopping spot)
but sbb duk kt London dh slalu lalu n tgk..takle heran sgt..hehe..jgn marah..


Harvey Nichols..
(tak masuk pun..niat gi Manchester jln2..nk shopping kt London pun byk..)

now ni mcm jd habit pulak bergambar dpn LV..
nk dpt satu kot..*wink
btw neverfull damier are available in this boutique..me dh try neverfull MM..
emm tiba2 terbaca one of the blog that mentioned it's a limited edition..
owhh..so tempting to get it..tgk lah...InsyaAllah..
called Selfridges London and they said still available..
hopefully by the time nk beli ade lagi..



Manchester Eye..
(London Eye tak naik pon lagi..mahal sgt..nnt la beli Merlin pass dulu then boleh tururn naik sesuka hati..)

This was the ads at Selfridges window..

Adam enjoying the ride..


Adib nangis nk balik..
tah pape tah..actually we were forced by him!!
kalau tak malas nk naik pon..

HRC
Ni mmg kedai wajib pegi..
I'm a shot glass collector..
so far byk jugak la dh collect..kt UK ade 4 je HRC..so takkan tak pegi kan??

Royal Doulton Home
Ni part yg best..tak sangka pulak ade kt manchester..mase odw to manchester tak singgah stoke pun sbb dh tutup..ingt nk pegi mase balik..tp sempat gak la shopping sini..


Adam yg penat tunggu mummy pilih tea set..haha..poor baby!!

and the stadium tour...bukan tour kt dalam pun..time limited..so we dun have time for that activity..lgpun hub is not a football fan..

so nak tak nak kene shopping kt Official merchadise shop je..tu ade mase..hehe..

Manchester City Stadium..
I'm not a fan okay..but if u're there takkan tak pegi kan??


Trafford Centre
sume org suh pegi..mmg la besar sbb die gathers all the big shops e.g: debenham, Selfridges, John Lewis..sume la..


Celebrating hubby's 29th birthday..die pun lupe birthday die..
Actually this trip was sort of my birthday gift for him..I bought him Ted Baker Messenger bag...
tak sempat nk upload..hehe..
cari kedai kek hub tak bg..
so konon2 tiup candle on the rice lah..he's so humble!!

Well kt sini tak byk attraction..so spend a few hours in the town and then cabut ke Stoke on trent..nk cari teapot for my tea set..

3rd destination: Stoke-On-Trent
Sampai kt Stoke-on-Trent dh about 4pm..the shops close at 5.15pm..We got lost coz our Sat Nav bwk tah mane2..so wasted bout 30mins..tension btul..after kalut2 cari Royal Doulton shop we found Wedgewood instead..emm jenguk kejap n asked for direction..rupe2nye it's just next door..Lucky me..
Hubby stayed in the car and Adib n me went in..camera pun tak bwk coz ade around 45 mins to shop..so takdela gambar..nvmd..definitely will berulang alik ke situh..byk dh target..hehe..Still remember this pic in last entry???
so tadaaaa...

ni la habuan nya..
actually Royal Doulton and R.Albert ni byk yg flowery with gold lining..but hubby nk something that we can use everyday..So i opted for the Royal Doulton Line Dinner and Tea set as our first complete set..
bought 12 cups and saucers, teapot..and dinner set for 6..
but got another fancy Royal Albert tea set..unfortunately the teapot has sold out!!
kene la tunggu next trip to get the tea pot..

after that headed straight to London..
rest for one day and cont our next destination in South UK..

letih tak hilang lagi..
btw thanks to our fantastic hosts..
