Project 365 – April 2026

This month was a very mixed one! We did a little staycation in England and then Dann, finally, after so long of us being together, got to meet my family. I never really thought this was something that was going to be possible, so I am extremely glad we were able to do so. Kai has also made the decision to live with us – something I am very proud of him for doing. During divorces, there is so much going on, but it’s so lovely to see him understand what support is and how someone should be looking after him. Below, I have written about each of my days in the month of April, as a part of Project 365. Some people do theirs weekly, some daily, and other bloggers do their entries monthly like me. You can also see all of their posts at the bottom, if you want to check out some other blogs.

History Heroes: A Little Slice of Animal History card game – Important animals

[Ad – Gifted Products] Another Monday of hanging out at our local Geek Retreat has come and gone, with us playing History Heroes: A Little Slice of Animal History card game this time. Previously, we have played History Heroes: A Little Slice of History, which was very similar to this game in design. Instead of the cards having triangles of history, they had triangles of important animals throughout history, which made for a very interesting game.

Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch Autumn Season 2026 announced

The Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch is one of our favorite places to go to see a bit of theatre. They have released their autumn 2026 schedule of events which include family shows and adult shows, all throughout the season. For those of you who have never been to the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, it’s a single theatre venue, with a bar, cafe, and a little children’s play area. Getting there ahead of your show allows you to order drinks or even have a little pastry at their cafe, which is always lovely.

The Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch’s Autumn 2026 season covers the next shows over the months of August, September, October, and November. There are a variety of different shows from children’s plays to horror-themed performances, to comedies. The use of the stage at this theatre is also always fantastic – transforming it to meet the needs of the show. We most recently went there to see There’s a Monster in your Show, a children’s performance, but have also seen tribute acts, farces, and of course pantomimes.

Climbing Great St. Mary’s Church

When somewhere says they have the greatest views of a city we are in, we have to take a look. I am not sure why, it’s just always something that we end up doing. So, when we saw a sign outside Great St. Mary’s Church saying it was the best view of Cambridge, we went in to climb the towers! Great St. Mary’s Church is also known as the University Church of Cambridge, built in 1209. The building was then rebuilt in the Perpendicular Gothic style between 1478 and 1608, with the university’s bells added to it.

[Ad – Gifted Products] LUSH have such a fantastic range of bath bombs – they are absolutely our favorite things to purchase from LUSH. One of their newest items is the Cold Bath Bomb, which is a bath bomb made for when you are feeling a little under the weather or when you are starting to feel rundown. As someone who travels quite often and has kids who go to so many clubs and activities, we do get colds from time to time.
