Family Outing : Barry Island 200509

...sekitar di Barry Island ..berjalan menuju ke pantai..
..dan tentunya membeli apa-apa yang 'patut' untuk anak-anak bermain pasir..

..pada hari rabu , 20 hb Mei 2009, ..dengan menaiki keretapi from Cardiff Central Station kami sekeluarga juga keluarga sahabat kami dari London..bertolak ke Barry Island. Perjalanan ini hanya memakan masa lebih kurang 30 minit..

Anak-anak.. sudah tentunya gembira teramat..apabila pulang sahaja dari sekolah.. terus diberitahu mereka akan dibawa ke pantai...

.. bermain di tepi pantai... cantik sungguh! pantai ini.

...lagi gambar pemandangan di Barry Island..
lengang sahaja suasana di sini..mungkin kerana..bukan hari cuti.

...anak-anak ..juga keluarga sahabat dari London..
seronok sungguh mereka dapat bermain di tepi pantai...

...tiga beradik yang sudah lama kepingin bermain pasir di pantai...

...main..main ... dan main...
sambil bermain..sempat lagi mereka meminta agar selepas hari itu..
mereka dibawa lagi ke pantai ini...

Bukan setakat yang paling kecil..seronok bermain..anak yang sulong serta yang yang kedua juga..berkongsi rasa..

...saya?..seperti biasa menikmati pemandangan sekitar sambil mengawasi anak-anak..
cantik tak pantai ini?

...seronok melihat anak-anak yang benar-benar gembira dan puas bermain hari itu...

...sesekali bermain pasir...bersama rakan mereka pula..
macam-macam mereka buat... kreatif..

..abang dan adik ini.. bermain bersama...
...seronok tengok bila anak-anak bermain bersama.. berbual bersama ... secara mesra..
...sambil di iringi dengan gurau senda..dan tertawa..

....sebelum ini hanya bermain pasir..kini mereka mengorak langkah..bermain di gigi air pula..
air laut itu...sejukkkkk sekali.
tapi anak-anak ..biasalah.. tetap terus bermain ...

....okay.. semuanya mula bermain air pula...
..sejuk pun sejuklah...

... penat main air..menulis pula di atas pasir...
satu pengalaman baru juga..
sudah lama... anak ini mahu menulis di atas pasir di tepi pantai..

Suami pula, seperti biasa..memberi sokongan kepada puteri kami ini..
Bila ada peluang sebegini, beliau akan sentiasa bersama anak-anak...
..untuk menggantikan masa ketika beliau sentiasa sibuk dengan 'studi'nya..

..dalam masa yang sama..sempat juga membalas text..

...leka bermain...

...asyik sahaja mereka bermain..

Paling seronok bagi kami, suami isteri, apabila membawa anak-anak suatu tempat yang mereka benar-benar gembira... seperti di pantai ini.

Sehingga hari ini, mereka masih meminta agar dibawa lagi...hmm..tapi itulah..pantai di sini tidak sama dengan di negara kita. Airnya sejuk... cuacanya juga begitu..terutamanya jika tiada sinar matahari..

Entah bila la..kami dapat ke sana lagi..., tidak mahu berjanji apa-apa dengan anak-anak ini.. susah nanti jika tidak ditepati..

Nota: Anak-anak sahabat kami ..juga kelihatan sungguh gembira hari itu..tercapai juga la..hasrat anak-anak itu untuk melihat pantai..dan bermain...

Day One 010509 : Penginapan Pertama

Bergambar dahulu di hadapan penginapan pertama...Travelodge London Park Royal. Bermalam di sini.. selama 3 hari 2 malam bagi keluarga daripada Malaysia..bagi kami sekeluarga pula..3 malam 4 hari...

Perjalanan daripada Ipswich ke London Park Royal memakan masa hampir 2 jam jika berdasarkan google maps..tapi perjalanan sebenar kami lebih daripada itu.. maklumlah..setibanya di Western Avenue London..jalan raya amat sibuk sekali... terlalu banyak jalan...tidak seperti Cardiff..yang aman damai..Letih juga kami dibuatnya..apatah lagi keluarga daripada Malaysia..

Namun, setibanya di Travelodge..kami masih sempat lagi bergambar...tanpa menghiraukan keletihan yang teramat...Sungguh seronok di waktu itu...

Masih segar dalam ingatan..sempat berpesan..kepada mereka..okay..rehat puas-puas...esok tidak memandu..tapi kita akan meneroka kota London pula...

Our Outing.. Cardiff City Centre

..one of our outing day with blooming red tulips...
My Little One loves watching those flowers....

The kids..attracted to flowers blooming at this place...
..likes bees ...
yet..I'm teribbly sorry.. I didn't know the name of this place..

.. can you see on the left of this picture?
.That is an impressive Victorian structure Cardiff Market..
(sorry again ..I didn't have any close up of that Victorian structure building)
. the blooming red tulips, others flowers...the trees and the surrounding area
makes this place really beautiful.

Whislt passing through this place.. my childrens especially the girls really excited looking at those blooming gorgeous flowers.. especially the blooming red tulips.
..my self too..therefore I can't help my self from snapping a few pics of the flowers and this place.

My daughters asked for my permission to pick the flowers..They asked me..again and again..
''Mum can I pick these flowers..I like it so much...'', says the Little One.
Well of course I..said 'NO'. I gave them a few reason why they can't pick those flowers.
For the Little One .. I have to give a full explaination to make her really understood and satisfied...such as the flowers in this place were planted by the city council gardener's..to make this city especially this place beautiful. Yet.. everybody were welcomed to this place..

Then.. my little one said, '' I wish our backyard can turn to be like this place ..mum..''
''So that I can look after the flowers..watering them..and picking too''

..very sweet to hear all those words from her ..purely honest..and straightforward.

..I said to her..'' we had flowers at our back yard.. we had daffodil..and all those colourful flowers..we bought from carboot sale.. and now..we had bluebell too..''

she replied back..
'' I knew that mum.. but I want more than that..I want just like this place.''.

..I can't remember the rest of our conversation.. but I remember her siblings gave her more reasons about why she can't pick the flowers and why we didn't have that much of flowers at our backyard garden...

Thanks to both of you...who always work together ..
..in giving a very good explaination to your Little Sister.

My daughters like picking flowers..
..likes daffodil..,dandelion ,blue bell, daisy.. and any wild flowers they found..
nevertheless....that's a part of their childhood life..,right?

At that time, when I saw them, I saw myself at their age..
..I love picking flowers too.. especially hibiscus..,bourgainvilla..and
sometimes lantana too ( not bothered by the smells of it ..)
