Pictures from our holidays


Assalamu Alaikum everyone! Maryam here.

We spent our holiday in the UK visiting family and touring old castles and ships. While staying in the Midlands we visited Kenilworth Castle in Coventry.
We saw the arrowslits through which archers would fire their arrows, and climbed up narrow steps in dark towers to reach the top of incredible views.





It was quite a hot day so walking on hard cold stones through tunnels underground made the experience more interesting.


Here's a link to the castle:


Another great adventure was visiting the HMS Victory ship in Portsmouth. It was great fun working through the many decks, which took us a couple of hours to complete, and seeing the ways in which the people on board at the time would have lived when at sea.   



We learnt about the many jobs on board and that each person had a distinct role to play. Did you know the Victory had a crew of over 800 men?



(MashAllah) we are very grateful to have visited such interesting places and (inshallah) I will be back soon to share with you some pictures of our stay in Wales.

See you then! ~ Maryam ~
