Exploring the Harlow Open at Gibberd Gallery

As parents, we like to encourage all of our children’s interests. For Robin, that’s primarily gymnastics and playing guitar. For Kai it’s going to the gym and playing DnD, for Amelia, it’s arts and drumming. So, when our local art gallery announced the Harlow Open at Gibberd Gallery last year, we encouraged Amelia to pick out a photo and enter, though she didn’t make it in, she was mentioned and felt very proud of that! This year, she and Robin decided to do a painting.

Seeing Animals at Cameron’s Tearoom and Farm Shop

On our quest to pet Highland Cows while staying at The Highland Club in Fort Augustus, we heard about Cameron’s Tearoom and Farm Shop. There wasn’t much to go off of for the venue, but with the idea of seeing cows in mind, we headed there. Cameron’s Tearoom & Farm Shop is on the smaller, cozy side when it comes to seating. There is a fireplace roaring in the middle, it feels like sitting in someone’s living room, and there are a bunch of different sports jerseys hanging on the wall. When we arrived, it was during the switch between the breakfast menu and lunch menu, where the tearoom doesn’t serve food for half an hour. I didn’t realize this was a thing, but they let us come in and check out the menu while we waited.

Using all the machines at Diggerland

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I got the chance to go along to Diggerland, which is a very unique amusement park. This place is aimed at either toddlers who really like construction materials or at adults that have always wanted to control big machines but have not had the space or time to do so. It’s an interesting idea; a big park full of different construction machines, plenty of spaces to use them, and some construction themed rides.

Exploring Battersea Light Festival 2025

Dann and I both very much love a light festival. We go to as many as possible throughout the year, so of course we walked around Battersea to see the Battersea Light Festival again this year. They had a lot going on this year, with the Light Festival taking place during the February half-term, along with different free activities that families can take part in during the day, including stain glass making, painting and so much more. We just went for the light festival, but saw the signs for the other activities which did look like fun!

Ghosts Can’t Draw – Fun Drawing Board Game

[Ad- gifted product] Another board game for our by-weekly tabletop night as a family, this time with a favorite theme; drawing. Though Ghosts Can’t Draw is marketed as for Halloween, our family really love board games about drawing like Ten Second Scribble or Scribble Shake Down, so our girls were very excited about Ghosts Can’t Draw. This game is sort of inspired by an Ouija board, but where one of you are the ghosts!
