Playing Stealth Ninja Cats in Shadow Ninjas

[Ad- gifted product] Every other week we find ourselves at our local Geek Retreat, playing a fun board game! This time, we took along Shadow Ninjas – which feels a fantastic fit for the Halloween season with our family. This is a fairly easy to play, four player board game where one of you plays as a guard cat while the rest of you play as shadow cats (or ninjas, in costumes, disguised as shadow cats) with the goal of getting to the koi ponds at the back of the board.

Pumpkin Picking at The Green Barn Farm

[Ad- gifted experience] We went along to another pumpkin patch; this time The Green Barn Farm. This pumpkin patch is extremely affordable and feels like a real farm; with an area where you can pet animals, some cows in a field, and of course tons of pumpkins! We weren’t sure what to expect, as we had never been to The Green Barn Farm, but we were up for another spooky-themed adventure.

Chasing Around a Flying Bee

[Ad- gifted product] Wicked Uncle has so many fantastic toys that are perfect for the gift giving season! This Flying Bee toy is one that Robin has really taken too, as she loves bees, running around, and the novelty of watching it fly with her hand. This toy is basically ready out of the box, as it doesn’t need batteries and comes with a cable that you can plug into a USB to charge the bee. I do like that it doesn’t need batteries, though this is one of the older charging connections, so do bare that in mind.

Di and Viv and Rose at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

[Ad- gifted experience] Normally, Dann and I head over to the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch to check out their latest productions, but this time Amelia asked if she could come along! Amelia actually went to this theatre with her school, not so long ago, and has been really enjoying performances. As Di and Viv and Rose is a play about growing up together, about friendship, and had a slightly lower age rating at teenagers, Amelia was interested in coming along (and quite enjoyed it too.)

Exploring Passion and Politics: Sissinghurst and Greece at Sissinghurst Castle Garden

[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.
