Mini strawberry farm
3 more junctions and we were there.
The above photo is dedicated to Miss Afie911.
We woke up to a rainy Saturday morning. But it stopped around 7.30 am, and the weather was fine for the rest of the day. I have already called Auntie Wa the day before arranging to pay them a visit over the weekend. The last time we went to visit was during the barbecue and farewell party for Uncle Datuk and Auntie Datin in April 2006.
We started our journey around 10.30am towards the North via M1 to Nottingham. I was tempted to ask Babah to make a detour to pass by Loughborough. But we wanted to reach Nottingham as early as possible.

Sarah was so excited, eyes wide open when she saw "Big sheep" on the way to Nottingham.
Yes, actually they were cows.
Alhamdulillah we reached Nottingham and as per usual, we weren't short of things to talk about. Plus, Amanda (Auntie Wa's daughter) has just came back from Italy. So there was her share of stories about her trip as well.

Auntie Wa has planted a row of strawberry plants in her garden. I was amazed, just a row of strawberry plants can yield a bumper crop of fruit. Babah and Sarah helped to pick the strawberries.
They ate some of them in the garden and only spared us a punnet full of strawberries.
They were sweet and juicy!
Luckily I brought extra pairs of clothing for the kids. We changed their clothes at least 4 times. They didn't stop eating grapes, cherries, strawberries, ice cream etc and always looking very comot.
Amar was happy too. I let him walk freely in the house. He loved this spot very much. Yes, tangga. He made several attempts to climb up the stairs. But always under supervision. Sarah was a good 'prefect' too. She reported to us every time Amar went close to the staircase.
"Sayang Amar" Sarah said hugging Amar.
We came back after dinner. The road was clear and it only took us around 35 minutes to reach home! The Brits must be busy watching Argentina v Mexico match.

Nice... :)
totally tempted by the pics..terliur la.
The kids are wearing identical clothes... is it a uniform now? Orange and blue??
mmmmm... strawberries.. I don't see the kids looking comot pun? Nak la tengok...
My kids love the tangga also. In one da boleh turun naik 20 kali! They just love it.
Sarah & Amar look so cute together..
Dear OK, once both of you are in the production mode and having dozens of kids, please give me the honor to design uniforms for them ok!
Mama, are the strawberries sweet there? The ones we get here are always sour!
The padded stairway looks so safe and comfy. Kalau AMar jatuh pon tak rasa, :p
soalan rasa strawberries sweet atau tidak sudah acap kali diluahkan oleh peminat strawberries lokal. Memang lazat dilihat tetapi saya berpendapat kadang-kala pandangan boleh memperdayakan. Namun begitu image yang dipersembahkan sungguh menyelerakan.
saragh suka makan sheep ke?
Best2 suka betul makan strawberry, Kekadang Ajzie buat Yougart. Sini byk strawberry tau.. Ada ladang lagi. Tapi kami lom sempat2 nak pergi. Exam next week..
kat cameron dulu siap dia orang letak gula on top nak bagi manis! ada ka? Teruk betul.. sekarang ni gula takda so kena beratur belakang lorry while I Jusoh edarkan gula....
StrawberrySSS!!! Nyumnyum sedapnyehhhhh....
Zakiah Rasanya memang sifat strawberry tu masam. Kalau nasib baik, dapat yang masam-masam manis. Ada juga kala yang masam-masam-masam.
dy benarkah?
simah terliur eh? telan air liur sahaja ok. I'm sure turkey pun banyak kan?
orang kilang Red + blue, mind you. No, not uniform. Baju basahan utk mereka mencomotkan diri.
sherin takkanlah i nak letak gambar depa comot. malu company lah! turun naik 20x ya? good form of exercise for the mama right?
DITH strawberries yang kita makan tu, masam manis-manis. sungguh enak! percayalah.
ikelah ya benar sekali. looks can be deceiving just like the weather. nampak cerah semacam, tapi bila keluar; sejuk pula kena pakai jacket. sama seperti strawberries, mana2 pun rasanya sifatnya masam-manis. ikut tahap ketahanan setiap individu. macam saya suka makan asam jeruk, boleh lah tahan makan strawberry masam. those yang tak tahan, kita maniskan sikit.
AJzie Waaaahh, buat yoghurt. HAri tu kawan saya KKL pun buat yoghurt. Saya belum cuba lagi. Nanti boleh share recipe.
Orang kilang bukan ke mat saleh pun makan strawberry with sugar and cream?
Afie911 gambar signboard tu ditujukan khas pada Afie tau! nasib baik jadi gambar tu. taken just before mynn overtook a lorry at 60-70mph.
Hi MS,
the strawberries do look so delicious.
And amar and sarah look so cute together. It's amazing how they can get along very well. Hmm.. bila la nabil nak ada adik nih.
jue
Jue,
So far, Sarah is a good kakak.
May be Nabil will get a sister in Australia ;P
Oh. I get it! Mynn is your hubby?!!
Btw, my mum came by ur blog (although she didn't leave any comments). I was sitting beside her. She went "eh that signboard looks familiar! A 512! eh signboard Loughborough tu!". Hehhhe. Thanx for the brilliant effort! =)
Confirm kalah strawberry Cameron Higlands. juicy yes, but sweet? probably one in a thousand kot. then again, like I mentioned before I like the fruit because the first strawberries I've eaten were sour in the first place.. hehe.
