Eating Classic Burgers at Buns Bros

When walking around Southend, we are always looking for a food place that catches our eyes. The outside of Buns Bros, before it opens, is actually a PokeStop in Pokemon Go, as the artwork is so fantastic. This, eventually, led us to eating there one afternoon when we wanted a lunch. Buns Bros is a sort of hole-in-the-wall place, like many of the small units along this side of Southend, that has a few tables outside and a few inside, along with a small window to order food at.

Enjoying Matilda the Musical at Cambridge Theatre

We have been known to very much enjoy a trip to the theatre, but occasionally we book up the larger productions that have their own set theatre in London. Using the Kid’s Theatre Week discount, a few years back, we saw Wicked the Musical. Since then, Amelia has asked about seeing Matilda the Musical in London. This year, we were lucky with the Kid’s Theatre Week queue and ended up booking Matilda the Musical at Cambridge Theatre.

Foil Fun Up in Space Set – Great Screen-free Activity

[Ad- gifted product] Having a few screen-free activities in your bag, especially during the summer holidays, is always a must! When we go on holiday, we always pack a few things for Robin to do in the morning, before her teenage siblings get up, as she doesn’t have a working phone and has limited screentime on WIFI. One thing she really seemed to enjoy was the Foil Fun Up in Space Kit, which is sort of like a sticker arts and crafts kit, giving a lot of different foils, stickers and even backgrounds all with a space theme. They do have tons of different kits from Disney to Animals to Unicorns, so there is a good variety to choose from.

Back to School Essentials

[Ad – Gifted Products] Back to school always comes around a little faster than we’d like! Now that summer is winding to the end, it’s time to look at your school supplies and see what needs replacing. We tend to refresh most things in our household, so that everyone has a new set for the new year. Below are some of the essentials we get for back to school time!

Personalised Water Bottle

Water bottles are a real essential when it comes to schooltime, and they always need your child’s name on them. Opting for a personalised water bottle will save you having to write their name on it, which could end up washed away, and creates something specifically for your child! Robin really loves this simple, cute designed water bottle that came with two different lids; one screw off and one sippy lid.

Stellar Restaurant Ephemera – A Space Food Experience

While in Paris for Go Fest Global, a Pokemon Go event, our friends Molly and Husky recommended a restaurant that they felt Dann and I would really love; Stellar Restaurant – Ephemera. Ephemera have a bunch of different, themed restaurant experiences, and Stellar is their space-themed place to eat. As we love experiences and we love trying new food, this felt like such a great recommendation and I am so glad we went along! You do need to book ahead, online, and when you show up you get to walk through a bunch of well-decorated areas to get to your seat. The walls themselves have space-themed atmospheres being projected, and there is a mystical, calm music playing. The ceiling is covered in planet decorations and mood lighting. It’s got some great vibes! But, let’s get into the food.
