EPPING FOREST

Last wednesday was the warmest day in this spring season for the first time ever. The temperature was expected to be until 20 degrees celcius that afternoon. So i told hubby i wanted to go out at least that would be kinda outdoor exercise for me before delivering lil One. :D As expected, hubby quickly agreed with me since he was a bit relieved after meeting his SV the day before. :)

At first, we didn;t have any idea where to go exactly as it was an impromptu plan. But, i instantly imagined one place where it has a big lake around Walthamstow. It wasn't too far from our house too. I've noticed it everytime we go to Ikea and how i always wish to go there one day. So I told hubby about the place and he said let's have a picnic there after fetching Zahin at nursery. Boy, i was really excited! ^_^

As it was adhoc, so did our lunch pack. :D I just reheat the balance of yesterday's Asam pedas ikan siakap (tapi dah tinggal kuah aje. ;p). Then i just cooked 3 cups of plain rice, grilled an instant Peri-peri chicken that we just bought at ASDA and fried some nuggets and sausages to be brought along with. that's all. Tu pun tak habis packing and sempat bersiap lagi, it's already 11.45a.m, time to fetch Zahin. So babah pegi ambil Zahin dulu sementara umi bersiap2 kt rumah. Lepas tu.. baru bertolak. :D

Just arrived at Epping Forest. Subhanallah, the place was peaceful and beautiful indeed.

Photos taken before, during and after the brief picnic. Private spot, nice lakeview and happy tummy. can't even complain. Ngee.

Then we indulged ourselves with yummy ice creams, posed and off we went boating! Wee! 

 Also camwhoring ourselves on the boat. What else can we do to kill the time, rite. ;p
The Eins also enjoyed playing with the water but had to stop them when the boat became 'senget sebelah'. :D
1 hour of boating activity. What a wonderful experience! BUT the Eins still got bored and sleepy tho. ;p (To my darling, TQSM for this precious treat, TQSM too for being our boater that day. :D You are always be our truly hero. ;) XOXO)

Alhamdulillah, this outing went very smoothly. And surprisingly, the temperature had reached 30 degrees celcius that day. It was hot and it was first time we didnt put our jacket on. Hopefully this kind of weather could stay like this until Summer. ^_^

Lastly, this outing might be the last one before i deliver this lil one. Huhu. The due date is just around the corner but i dont have an idea when is the right date day or time! Huhu. Pls pray for me ye, kawan2. :)

Till then, wish all of us have a nice weekend! Wassalam.

Miss Anna said...

nice piknik, sronok kan skrg dah panas, sampai 30 deg ek kat sana, dasat tuh, kat cni max baru 24 deg. Summer nanti lagi la hot, lagi panas dr M'sia, and klu kat cni bas, train sume x de aircond, so klu jalan jauh tu rse cam dok dlm oven hehe..
x de tanda2 akan meletops lagi ke? make sure bnyk exercise ye!

AHAR said...
