scotland
there are four places (and maybe more) in the world you have to visit for eye-catching breathtaking sceneries.
New Zealand, Canada, Switzerland and Scotland.
and with my weekend gateway (with isla) to Scotland... Switzerland becomes the sole country on that list that i'm yet to visit.
6.25 in the morning... train ride from newcastle to scotland Scotland was breathtaking... exactly like how movies had portrayed it to be, the scenery was wonderfully majestic.
'scotland' taken from the trainperth, scotland (not perth down under) was our destination...
it is a small town north of Edinburgh where isla's maternal family chose to inhabit for almost over 60 years now.
here are snippets of moments captured by the lens of my camera while i was there:-
here's isla's grandma who is truly an inspiring lady.60 years ago she traveled all the way to Scotland from Germany alone... without knowing a word of English and picking up the language later only by reading comic books thrown by a 7 year old who lived nearby.
the marble cake she baked was delicious...
we helped by cleaning up the 'mess'....
the miserable cold walk to isla's aunty anita's plc...
isla's favourite aunty anita...
the view from aunty anita's plc.
wind blowing the tree
chillin'
staying warm by the fireplace
isla's nephew Kieran, who broke his leg
signing the cast.
i've finally tasted cock-a-leekie soup.Scotland was freezing but it was a much needed gateway...
and now i'm back in newcastle with two layers of jacket on.
It has been a very cold last week of october and we're expecting snow tonight.
oh n btw... i'm officially 8 hours behind you guys back in malaysia...
the cold miserable winter is coming... FAST... as we speak....
