[Ad- gifted experience] When we went to Sissinghurst Castle Garden, we came to explore their new exhibition Passion and Politics: Sissinghurst and Greece, which is all about Vita’s husband, Harold Nicolson and his role in post-war Greece. This exhibition actually includes a bunch of unseen photographs and personal items from Harold himself, creating an intimate feeling exhibition, that builds on the small history of the gardens itself, in the outdoor below area of the same building.
We do enjoy trying out new things in our local area! When there are new, kid-friendly events, we see if our children want to go and give it a shot. When I saw that Wheelie Roller Disco was coming to our area, I was interested! As a child, I spent a lot of time at a roller rink local to me, skating for years, but stopped when I was 14 or so. We have gone ice skating several times, which is very similar to roller skating in a lot of ways. Robin also got a pair of skates for Christmas a few years back, that she uses in the kitchen often, so she was pumped. Kai wanted to go to the gym and had no interest, and Amelia was cautions, but wanted to try something new.
[Ad- gifted experience] When it comes to National Trust Sites in Essex and the surrounding areas, there are a lot to choose from! The National Trust is an organisation that takes care of gardens and estates that hold a lot of significance, preserving their history. You can pay a membership fee to support the National Trust and have access to tons of different sites all over England. Sissinghurst Castle Garden isn’t a site we had previously visited, and I wasn’t aware of the history around this location. When we arrived, we parked up our car and headed towards the Garden signs.
[Ad- gifted product] We’ve been fans of the corn snack Love Corn for quite some time now, so we were delighted when we saw that they are now doing smaller, travel-sized packs, along with a new flavor to try out! Love Corn, if you aren’t familiar, is a crunchy corn snack that are air roasted instead of fried, making it a fun, low-calorie snack. These corn snacks reminded me of beer snacks when I first had them (and since I’ve been to Spain recently, where they often have crunchy corn snacks served with beer).

Our friend Quang had a birthday, so he invited Dann and I, along with loads of his other friends, to Nom Nom Restaurant. This is actually a place Dann and I, along with Quang and many other friends have been to many, many times, even when it previously was under another name. This is a traditional Vietnamese restaurant with a lot of authentic dishes. Vietnamese is my favorite type of food, so I am always excited to head over there.
