16th July Alnwick Castle and Gardens

As usual my holiday entries are always delayed a little.cos of the pictures uploading and i dont have much time for myself here in LEEDS. Every bit of time in Leeds must go into this blog as i promised. and how could i possibly be lazy and miss this holiday entry out. Since after the Paris trip i didnt travel much... was real busy catching up with People and working at BK. Was looking for a holiday and i wanted to see the newcastle people one more lasttime before i go back malaysia. Turns out that this trip was more than just a holiday. I really thank God for the people i meet when im in newcastle. i admit the time is short for everyone. but at least there are blessed times.

On my first day in newcastle, i arrive like in the evening. Sharon and adelene pick me up from the train station. Drop my stuff at sharon's place. lepak at adelenes place for a while looking at her euro pictures. this gurl betulbetul gila travel. she travelled like everywhere of europe. and its not like those touch and go kind of travelling. most of the places are at least 5days. Later in the evening, adelene took me to Newcastle Cf. i enjoy myself there. studied Luke 12 that night.mainly talk from verse 22 to verse 34. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

After cf. i was dog tired. went back to sharons place and slept the night there. Sharon is a superb host. provided such a great place. an ensuite room! with tv and all. big bed. got duvet. got pillow. wa lao. u too much sharon. thanksie sooo cho cho much.

The very next morning. Me, Sharon, Huixin ,mark,joanna and her family... we went to Alnwick Castle. The place where they filmed Harry Potter.

Summer smiles
Roses. are red and violtes are blue. honey is sweet but not as sweet susu pekat dutchlady. In the garden we took like a million photos of the flowers. its really gorgeous. and u can actually smell the roses everywhere. the garden is huge. a nice walk. really really nice walk. and very colorful. Was saying to sharon and huixin abt i wonder how it is like to walk through this garden at night and the moon is up. Probably the roses will reflect the moonlight and making the garden look like a walk to Neverland.
I'm not a flower person ok. and even more im a guy. i dont appreciate flowers much. But this place really amaze me. with its colors.

girl girl friends Posing with erm. dunno what those flowers are called. but they are all in blue and purple.
Millions and millions of them. How beautiful and detail God created every single one of this flowers. Luke 12:27. Christ said: " Consider how the lilies grow.they do not labor or spin. Yet i tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these." This verse came from the bible reading the night before rang in my head when i look all of this flowers. It just makes me feel like God u are so beautiful and how wonderful u have make me and called me ur own imagine. How often youths or young people worry of how they look and how ugly they think they are. eyes too small, nose too koala like, chin so round, figure so unlike cocacola bottle, what a round tummy. Yet still the bible says that even with all of solomon splendor...none is dress like one of these lilies. Even with all the money and plastic surgery technology. It can never create the way God has create us. The walk through the garden seeing all this wonderful flowers makes me thank God more. The hands that make every single flower i see , is the same hands that created the beautiful me.

Every angle of the Garden is nice. the design. the little fountains and flowers.
