Seeing The Scratch at Rough Trade Bristol

Dann and I have primary seen music in the form of festivals over the years, as we enjoy seeing lots of bands when we go somewhere. I’ve also more recently seen a tribute act – due to Amelia wanting to see more live music this year – so was quite interested in my friend Gary invited me to see The Scratch at Rough Trade in Bristol.

Eating with a View at Schonbrunn Gloriette

When it comes to beautiful cafes to eat at in Austria, but the Schonbrunn Gloriette is one that feels just breath-taking. I think, looking at the building, I didn’t realize it was even a cafe at all, but it was! This building is a massive arch, with tons of arches at either side, with a small building in the middle that holds the cafe. It overlooks a fantastic view of Vienna, which is also stunning, along with the gardens and castle in front of it. We loved the little walk from the tram to this cafe, as it was so beautiful, and such a lovely morning walk.

Once we entered the Schonbrunn Gloriette, we took a seat at a booth that had a window view of the castle below. It was simply magical. There was a person playing the piano, then playing some brace pipes afterwards, which added to this magic! Dann and I had quite a few mornings of only sweet treats, and now were interested in trying something savory, so that’s what we did! I am going to be honest. I am not sure what all of the cakes we ordered and tried were, as these were picked out by our tour guides for us to try.

MurWalls LIVE repaints Harlow Town Centre at Harlow Street Art Festival

Harlow is going through this massive bout of revitalization, with lots of little projects being done all throughout the town in order to bring life back to things that have otherwise not been touched in a while. Before the end of the last year, a bunch of blue boarding walls have been put up across the back of Harlow Town Centre, to protect the walk from the anticipated destruction of the buildings behind the walls, which need to come down for re-building. Harlow then put on a Street Art Festival with the help of MurWalls LIVE to bring some color and fun to these boards, creating a real sense of community and life at the back of town.

Yoto The Art of Loving by Olivia Dean – Heartfelt music

[Ad – Gifted Products] Robin has been toying around with her Yoto Mini for quite some time now as she really does like having this little music device, that’s got a few games cards too, which she can take along with her anywhere. We spent a lot of time out of the house and find that Robin will pack a few toys with her for wherever we go, and if she’s in a music mood, the Yoto Mini is in tow! Recently, Yoto the Art of Loving by Olivia Dean was released, and though this was an artist that we had not heard many songs from, Robin was excited to have a new card!

The Sarah McGuinness Story at the Circle & Star Hampstead

[Ad- gifted experience] The Sarah McGuinness Story is a very personal musical cabaret, a completely one-person show, about Sarah McGuinness’ life, played by her. We went to see this show in The Circle & Star Hampstead, which is a small venue, attached to a pub – and it was packed. The venue being super intimate and sort of filled to the brim did feel right for this type of performance, in a lot of ways.
