Hot Pot at Happy Lamb Holborn

Dann and I don’t tend to celebrate Valentine’s Day on the day. There are always too many people out and about, and we have traditions that we do with our own children that we prioritise. However, we do take a day out of the beginning of February and go out for Hot Pot. Hot Pot is one of Dann’s favorite things to have, and it’s a food that you eat slowly, while talking and hanging out, so it’s a great way to reflect on your relationship and each other. As a bonus, it’s absolutely delicious! This year, we went to Happy Lamb in Holborn.

Exploring Loch Ness on the Loch Ness Cruise

While staying in Fort Augustus at The Highland Club, Dann and I were right on the Loch Ness. If you somehow were unfamiliarly with Loch Ness specifically, it’s rumored to have a monster living in the lake, which has always been a really interesting myth. Hoping to learn more about Loch Ness and to see some beautiful views of the lake itself, we booked up the Loch Ness Cruise, which boarded right outside our accomidation.

Dog Man The Flip-O-Rama Game – Easy Matching Game

As someone whos read all of the books, she was excited to start playing the board games. During one of our by-weekly board game days at Geek Retreat, she picked Dog Man The Flip-O-Rama Game, which has a bell in it. This is primarily why she picked it!

Fancy Meal at Brinchi Steakhouse

When it comes to trying out new places to eat, Dann and I are always excited! At the very back of the town centre in Harlow, Brinchi Steakhouse has opened in this year. This isn’t the most pleasant part of the town, with parking being primarily at the other side towards the Water Gardens, but it’s well worth the walk! Brinchi Steakhouse has an interesting menu, containing pasta, pizza, Turkish food and of course, lots of steak and beef-based dishes. Dann and I went on a random Sunday for a massive lunch, where the staff were very welcoming.

Seeing Illusions at the Twist Museum

After exploring the Paradox Museum and having a fantastic time, we decided to check out the Twist Museum, as it’s meant to be similar. The Twist Museum is in central London, where you enter and explore a bunch of illusions, learning how they work and taking photographs of what you discover. This venue did have more illusions technically, but it felt like less were interactive and the layouts themselves were also a little clustered and crowded.
