Eid is the celebration after 30 days of fasting (Ramadan). It is a time to reflect on the past 30 days, where we as Muslims fast to feel empathy with the poor and we also give to charity because this is what we need to be thankful for. The best thing about Eid is to …
It’s that time again. Ramadan is a time to fast and reflect on just how lucky we are to have food and clean drinking water and to appreciate our life. It is a time to pray, feel what it’s like to have no food and will power. After a day of fasting, which starts at …
The third instalment of my series on Pakistan will be where it all started for me – makeup! If you haven’t already read my articles, you can here – Pakistan and Mehndi. As we were attending a close family wedding, and this doesn’t happen very often, but we had our makeup done at the salon. …
So did you guess my second article? If not, see the start of a chronicle of articles about my trip to Pakistan, click here. A quick synopsis of my trip to Pakistan was for a special occasion and wedding, in fact it was for a walima, which is an after party that is hosted and paid for by the groom’s side. There …
I am about to start a chronicle of articles about my trip to Pakistan recently. My parents are from Pakistan and so is my husband, therefore I am very passionate about the place and of course my family and relatives. We went for only 2 weeks, which is rather short, as it is so far, but …

I recently went to Keythorpe Manor for a summer wedding and I must say it was the perfect location! They have fabulous grounds, beautiful arrangements and tucked away areas!
We were (my family and I) lucky to have some great weather that day too. The wedding venue is in Leicester, which I must admit isn’t the usual place that I have been, so it was all the more nicer!
There was a lot to do there too, from crocket and skittles (with coconuts no less – being that it was an Indian wedding) to just walking around the grounds.
While driving down you could also possibly miss a hidden location which is just breathtaking and where you can hear the live peacocks while walking through.
There is also an amazing swing with flowers wrapped around it, just ever so picturesque for the perfect wedding shoot!
This being a Desi wedding meant wearing traditional and ethnic clothing. I wore this bright blue and green shalwar kameez.
Here are some photos from this breathtaking place with borrowed shoes (my mum’s, as I had kicked mine off) and my son.
Enjoy!
