We have previously done a bunch of different seasonal activities at Wimpole Estate, so when I saw that they were doing Halloween at Wimpole, I really wanted to check it out. This is a light trail, basically that has more of a spooky theme and tons of different actors along the trail which did a good job of setting the spooky tone. It wasn’t horrifying, it’s completely family friendly, and our family really enjoyed it!
[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.

[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.
[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.
[Ad- gifted experience]Â 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.)
