View of Castle Terrace..

Why are those trees fenced?

Just here watching a documentary on Stv HD on Mr Bean called Happy Birthday Mr Bean.. brings back fond memories of my childhood.

Do you know he holds a degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and MSc in Electrical Engineering from The Queen's College, Oxford?

It goes to show what we read in school will not necessarily determine where our future and sometimes success lie.

Let's keep pushing on!

See what I mean

Meanwhile the oval wash hand basin in last pic.. Love it

Victor Paris.. 2016 Winner of Bathroom Showroom of the Year Come in and see why
(as written on their window)

But sha they got some fineeeee stuff, pictures don't do justice

Shey I'll not just carry the bathtub to my living room to Netflix and chill. Forget, it's not the same feeling with bringing the Netflix to the bathroom to chill

David Phillips car sales.. The price on those cars

Last pic, see the Ducati stuck in between
Let me quickly calculate the price @N630/£1 per Abokifx
£9550 X N630 = N 6,016,500

Took a stroll to stretch my legs and relax the eyes from Netflix, I stumbled at this street across the foot of the castle rock opposite an area called Castle Terrace

Lol I have never heard of Geordie before.I only know about the mordern British accent,cockney and scouser.

I guess I need to do more research.

She told me she is from Newcastle or area around it..

NiklauseFred:

I plan on going through school way(masters)

That's lovely.. That means you are still in school then.. I wish you all the best my brother

themaestro08:
Your thread is superb . BTW I read up there where you typed "inshaallah", are you a Muslim?

No I am not. I served in the North.

NiklauseFred:
Ma'am I know you're doing great.
Do you understand cockney?

No.. Cockney I believe is a London accent (one of anyway).. They said it’s what that middle class speaks. Hope you know there are about 40 or more dialects in the UK. In Coventry, I worked with a lady who spoke Geordie and I had difficulty understanding her most of the time

Seeing transformer for the first time here.. quite big.

Dalmatian dog, abi that's the breed?

Murrayfield Stadium.. For Rugby
It's the largest stadium in Scotland and the fifth largest in the United Kingdom.

We were fortunate to get accomodation from Nigeria. Originally a 3 bedroom for Airbnb but due to Covid and it's impact on tourism, the owner gave us a double bedroom for short let for 3 months. Instead of providing a guarantor, we paid the 3 mths rent upfront, bills inclusive- gas, light, internet, cable, Netflix, Amazon prime

Presently, we are the only occupiers. Pray it stays this way till we leave. Unchristianlike, I know

Airport Environs...

Which is your dream country?

I remember when I posted it in July, 2019 with absolutely no idea how or when we will come back to this enchanting city. Heavens knows.

Little did we know God ways are not ours and His thoughts towards us are of good..

So dear Nairalanders, like a jigsaw puzzle, God put all the pieces in the right fix for us and here we are...

Be positive in your thoughts, actions and be intentional in your deeds, whatever you seek in this new year shall surely come to pass..
