We always make sure to try and get out and about whenever we can, and we’ve recently pivoted a large amount of that to exploring nature trails and taking our walks toward landmarks and areas of natural beauty. We went to Belhus Woods Country Park, as we sought to find new places within our Tier which aren’t too far from home, and it was an absolutely fantastic discovery.

For a lot of people, the ability to go out and socialise or meet with friends is utterly essential to modern survival. In many cases that can go hand in hand with grabbing a drink or two, and now – more than ever – there’s so much choice that it can be baffling. But, if you’re not the sort to dip into a tipple or two then that widening of variety brings with it an added relief, because the alcohol-free, or low-alcohol, selection has grown as well.
Thankfully, the days where people pull faces at people drinking alcohol-free versions of drinks seem to be on the decline; and there’s a whole variety of reasons to swap out your drink for one without alcohol — from, having to drive, a busy day the next day, generally not liking the feeling anymore, and various health reasons. Say you do have a health issue, but enjoyed the taste of cider – this could be the best way for you to still have that.

Jupiter recently got a National Trust membership as this year (and into next) seems to be one where primarily only outdoor events are what we are going to be getting along too. This membership covers a lot of parks, historical houses, and areas within Britain that we are going to aim to explore. So, when checking out the Christmas section of the National Trust website, we stumbled upon Standen House, where the Beale Family once lived – and though we didn’t really know who that was, we were excited to take a look around. Standen House ended up being one of our favorite National Trust sites in Essex.

*AD – the items in this review were gifted to our household for this post. All opinions, as always, are our own.
Earlier on in the year we tried out Aloha 65, a zingy spirit flavoured with notes of chilli and pineapple among other things. Normally the bottle has a warm summer theme however, as you can see in the featured image, this time we had one with a different label. One with a winter theme, and this gave us a few ideas about how the drink could be used for more than just zesty summery drinks. In fact, we decided that we’d make a drink with winter colours and a literal ball of ice tucked up inside it.

Jupiter really loves deer. She grew up in a small town that had a lot of deer, deer hunting, and often just wild deer wandering about. As we have been going on more creative date nights, due to most things being shut, I surprised her with a trip to Weald Country Park – which ended up being so popular, that we went back with the kids. This time of year is when all of the deer are out, making it a perfect wintertime activity. Weald Country Park is free to enter – although if you park nearby you’ll need to pay for the car park – and contains a few different park areas, trails, a pond, deer and a cafe.
