The Lost Hour – a Pub and Restaurant | Review

Posted on January 15, 2020August 27, 2024 by Jupiter and Dann

[Ad- gifted experience] We were invited to take on the new vegan options at The Lost Hour, a casual pub that has pool tables, a SNES, loads of TVs showcasing sports, and a friendly atmosphere. Offering a bunch of beers on tap and fruity ciders I hadn’t even heard of before, as well as a generously sized menu full of food, this pub is a step above your average Wetherspoons. They’ve added a few vegan specials to their menu and are encouraging those doing Veganuary by offering double points for vegan purchases made by people who sign up for their rewards card called ‘more’. They are also doing 25% off low-alcohol or non-alcoholic drinks if you are doing dry January and have a card! These reward points can add up to free food or drinks at The Lost Hour. The bar staff themselves were also really lovely, which is worth a mention. They spent time asking tables if everything was good, cleaned fast and efficiently, and had good conversations at the bar. It was just a really friendly bunch! Let’s get down to the food;

Tropical Tart (The Vegan Kitchen) | Recipe

Posted on January 10, 2020August 27, 2024 by Jupiter and Dann

[Ad- gifted product] It’s January, which means more people than ever are experimenting with being vegan. Veganism is when an individual no longer consumes any meat or animal byproducts, this includes fish, egg, honey, cheese, and anything else that has to do with animals. It’s a big lifestyle switch if you have been eating meat your entire life, but many people take on the challenge for the month of January in hopes of living a healthier life and possibly losing weight. Having some sort of guide is a very good idea when making huge changes to you diet, even if you only plan on sticking to this change for a month.

Edible Pineapple and Kiwi Tea from Nim’s | Review

Posted on January 8, 2020August 27, 2024 by Jupiter and Dann

[Ad- gifted product] Previously, we took a look at Nim’s Vegetable Crisps, which is exactly that: just vegetables dried and packed so that you can enjoy a crispy, healthy and simple snack. Much like their crisps, Nim’s have a range of Edible Teas in both vegetable and fruit flavors. We got our hands on some of Nim’s Edible Pineapple and Kiwi Tea to try out in the new year. As January is known to be a month full of healthy eating and changes in diet as people attempt to have a healthier year, it felt like a perfect fit. We both drink tea from time to time, but neither of us were particularly cutting caffeine out of our diets, which is something this flavoured tea could really help with.

Nim’s Edible Pineapple and Kiwi Tea doesn’t actually contain tea leaves, instead, it is just dried pineapple, kiwi and apple slices. These dehydrated fruits are pre-packed in recyclable plastic, so you can put the tea itself directly in your mug of hot water and let it sit to become flavoured. Working much like a warm version of flavoured fruit water at first, over the course of about 5 minutes, the tea starts to really taste like fruit flavoured tea. The smell of Nim’s tea is also quite delicious, as you can almost instantly start to smell the fruit inside the cup.

A Day Out in London Bridge

Posted on January 3, 2020July 8, 2024 by Jupiter and Dann

*AD /Sponsored– see footnote

I’ve lived in London for a few years, but haven’t actually ever gone to a specific area to spend time and explore! Dann and I went out to the London Bridge area, with a budget in our pockets, looking to do whatever we stumbled upon. It was a long day out, and we ended up doing a mix of tourism and finding smaller gems that are within the area. If you want to do a day out in the London Bridge area, but unlike us, don’t live nearby, there are loads of hotels near the Shard to pick from.

A Night Out at Ashford Illuminates Carnival of the Baubles

Posted on December 23, 2019December 13, 2021 by Jupiter and Dann

Love Ashford has ran a bunch of festival, local events this year for their town! We were able to go down to the Carnival of the Baubles, unsure what to expect as it was their first year doing this event. The Carnival of the Baubles is the last of the three holiday events, which include an illuminated house and a magical illuminated forest. This last event had illuminated baubles made by all of the local schools, which were paraded through the town.

We didn’t really know what we were doing when we arrived. I suppose, looking back on it, we probably should have just been watching the carnival instead of joining in, but here we are. Standing near everyone lining up, there were several people asking if anyone wanted to hold the baubles. These came in so many different shapes and sizes, all hanging from different poles you can walk with. I grabbed one of the spare ones for Phoenix Primary School as many of the kids were not there to hold their bauble. Once we were in line, Dann went off to take some outside shots as I was told we were going to weave when we walked, given a headband and figured out exactly how high I needed to hold this pole.
