Our 2019 Summer Holiday (part 1)

Assalamu Alaikum!

In today's post we would like to share some photos from our summer holiday. We spent it in England with our family and had a lovely time, masha'Allah!
 When we were younger we barely knew our family because we lived so far away. For the past several years, however, we have been able to go back and spend our holidays with them, alhamdulillah.


Harith

If you read our last holiday post then you probably remember our Nani (maternal grandmother) had a new cat named Harith. We met up with him again and he was just as sweet and adorable as before.
He was slightly naughtier than last year and had grown a bit bigger. We were so happy to see him again, masha'Allah!
We spent Eid-ul-Adha with family and friends at our Nani's. The house was full of people and we all had a wonderful time, masha'Allah. We did some shopping at second-hand shops, had a sleepover with our cousins, played with Harith, ate out and enjoyed quality time with family.

Holiday Home
During our stay we also spent a week on our own at a holiday home. Masha'Allah, it was a very private farmhouse surrounded by beautiful fields and woods, so we were able to take off our hijabs and completely relax.
Inside the house the rooms were big and spacious, perfect for a family of seven, masha'Allah.
Masha'Allah we all loved the large fire place.
Hanifah and Maryam's room.
Zainab and Sumayyah's room.
SubhanAllah, the views from the windows of the house were lovely, and a feature we don't want to forget, insha'Allah.
Although our holiday ended only a few weeks ago it feels like it's been much longer with the amount of things going on (e.g. school, studying, work). We don't want this post to be too long so we will do a second part in a few weeks time, insha'Allah. Until next week.

Love and wasalaam,

  1. I want to go live in the holiday house for two weeks!! In the winter, too, so we can see snow, and light the fireplace. I've never seen a fireplace in my life, I think. Only in books and pictures.
