An Explore at Markshall Estate Enlightened Light Trail

[Ad- gifted experience] Being December it’s the season for lots of things, but one thing that we always try to get along to during these colder Winter nights is light trails. Over the last few years we’ve visited loads and loads around the UK (and beyond) and that’s included a couple from events organiser Enlightened Moments. When we found out they were running another one, and not too far from us, we had to go, and so off we went to their newest installation at Markshall Estate, near Coggeshall in Essex.

Contact Coffee Co’s Shots Fired! Makes a Mean Espresso

[Ad- gifted products] I don’t know about you, but I don’t often sit down and think about the military. I guess this means, for the most part, that they’re doing their job just fine. I don’t really have a segue to link that to the coffee, beyond the fact that a couple of British chaps in the armed forces decided to dedicate time and effort into levelling up the sub-par instant coffee that they were getting while out there on operations. The result is Contact Coffee Co, who have sent us along a pouch of Shots Fired, a smooth, medium-roast coffee.

Best Non-Chocolate Advent Calendars for 2024

[Ad- gifted products – Updated on November 9th, 2024 with this years Advent Calenders] If you’re like us, you’re not the biggest fan of chocolates.

In America, we don’t really do advent calendars, so Jupiter didn’t really think there was a huge variety when she came to England – but it turns out there is! We have picked out our advent calendars for this year, after a bunch of research, and will be telling you about them as well as a few bonus ones that we though were so cool!

Hops & Cans Subscription Review – 8 beers, 2 snacks, great price and great variety

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to beer subscription boxes they often fall into one of three different categories: 1) An opportunity to get cheap beer that you like from a specific brand — much like getting coffee on subscription 2) An opportunity to get something familiar and safe — like how we’d hope Online Supermarket Order Replacements would work, or 3) Getting something new and fantastical, exploring new avenues, and widening your horizons. Hops & Cans is a great example of the latter, which is super handy as that’s my favourite of the three options I mentioned.

Going to the Bluey: The Videogame Launch Event

[Ad- gifted experience] One of the most loved and endearing characters on UK children’s TV for the last few years has been Bluey, the Australian-developed show about the adventures of the titular Blue Heeler. It’s been nothing short of a phenomenon, and now it has a game, in Bluey: The Videogame.
