The Boathouse Restaurant – Beautiful Views of Loch Ness

While staying with Abbey Holidays at The Highland Club in Loch Ness, they recommended we eat at The Boathouse Restaurant, which is within view of the apartments that they rent. This little ma-and-pa style restaurant is one that has beautiful, stunning views of Loch Ness. The views themselves are enough to bring anyone to the area, but the food is also something we wanted to try and see if it lived up to the breathtaking views. The menu itself has a mix of Scottish food and Turkish food, as the owner is Turkish. I went for the Turkish options myself!

Making a Candy Pizza with Wright’s Baking Toffee Cake Mix

[Ad- gifted product] What do you do with all of your leftover Halloween Candy? In our household, we do eat pieces here and there, along with all you want to eat on Halloween itself, but we often still have tons of candy. One thing we always like doing is creating a Candy Pizza.

This market had just opened the day before, so we were excited to see what it is like as none of us had been.

Watching Cinderella at The Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

[Ad- gifted experience] It’s Christmas time, which in England means there are tons of pantos. Last year, I went to my first ever panto and had a wonderful time. Cinderella had a lot of the same actors from the previous panto I saw at The Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, so I was well excited to see it. Cinderella is a classic story, but like most plays, this one felt unique and with a twist.

Crystal Art Buddies Festive Series 4 Decoration – Crafting an Ornament

[Ad- gifted product] We are fans of the Crystal Art kits, especially after doing a bunch of the D100 Crystal Art Sticker Album. This sort of mindfulness activity really encourages slowing down. It’s like paint by numbers, but instead of messy paint and trying to get it in exactly the right spot, you are putting down a bunch of fun looking gems. The new Crystal Art Buddies Festive Series 4 Decorations are both a decoration you can hang on your tree or a buddie that you can stand up, acting as a shelf decoration. Amelia took the time to do the Reindeer, which is new for 2024.
