An Evening Out at Enlightened Hylands Estate

There are a ton of light trails in Essex and we were looking to hit quite a few! After going to Enlightened Colchester last year, we wanted to bounce back to the Enlightened closest to us; Hylands Estate, which we had not visited since 2021. Enlightened Hylands Estate is one of the Enlightened Trails in and around Essex, of which there are quite a few! These trails, we find, are ideal for children as there are tons of interactive moments and lots of good places to take pictures.

Watching Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs at Fairfield Halls Theatre

[Ad- gifted experience] Now, I have been to a number of pantos over the last two years, but I have not actually been to a panto with our children!

Double Date at Illuminate Ipswich

We clearly go to a lot of light trails around the month of December, and every year we make an effort to go to one with our lovely friend Claire. This time she brought along her partner as a lovely double date, walking around the lights! We went to Illuminate Ipswich, which is a new light trail this year, so we haven’t been previously. We went midweek, at the end of the night, so there weren’t many people about either.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Patrick Star Game – Bikini Bottom is Back!

[Ad- gifted product] We are a big gaming family, possibly due to the fact that Dann and I both work in games so are always playing games anyway. Robin and Kai are both very much gamers themselves, with Amelia being more into art than games. Robin is our big Xbox Gamer and with her absolute love of SpongeBob SquarePants, we were excited to see SpongeBob SquarePants: The Patrick Star game, which is a new SpongeBob game! Previously, another gaming company released a “rehydrated” version of a SpongeBob game I had as a kid, and to be honest, I was disappointed – so there was high hopes for this one!
