Eating at Mi Barrio Hitchin in The George Pub

Dann and I love adventures and fun, one-off events, so when we saw The George Pub in Hitchin was running a Street Art festival for one day, we wanted to see exactly what that meant! This festival ran from midday until dinnertime, so we stopped by in the middle of the time, to see how everything was set up and to try some of the food served by Mi Barrio Hitchin in The George Pub. This is a bit of an interesting one; Mi Barrio Hitchin basically rents the pub’s kitchen, creating their own South American Tapas that can be purchased and eaten within the pub. Let’s get into the food.

Don’t Fall for It – Trivia-based Board Game

[Ad- gifted product] Every other week, we go to our local Geek Retreat to try out a new board game! This time, we played some Don’t Fall for It, which is a trivia-based board game with a large range of subjects. The age rating on this board game is ten and above, though, Robin is nine (nearly ten) so we figured we would see how it would go. The board itself was interesting; it folds out into a tower that you then can place a bunch of cardboard planks across the inside of the tower. There is a pre-made little triangle that goes in the bottom, and needs to be snug.

Halloween Dinner Ideas

I think there is something so much fun about themed dinners! We love having a bit of fun with presentation, especially around the holiday seasons. Halloween does get a little repetitive with the dinner ideas that I find on the internet, as they are primarily a lot of party food. So, this year, I have put together my own list of Halloween Dinner Ideas that are actual dinners, not just party food, to feed a family. We do have our best Halloween Lunchbox ideas and a list of Easy Spooky Halloween Treats, if you are looking for more inspo.

Live Music at Hitchin Priory Summer Sessions

Dann and I have been going to more and more music festivals and food festivals that feature music in the last few years. One band that I have always wanted to see live is The Wombats, which are my current favorite. Dann is a big fan of Razorlight, so when the Hitchin Priory Summer Sessions listed a day with both Razorlight and The Wombats, there was no way we weren’t going to go. This three day long festival had different bands each day, but we went on the Saturday, which had the bands we were interested in. Dann and I invited our two friends, as a sort of double date, and headed off for the afternoon.

Beaker Creatures Skull Mountain Volcano – Mystery Monsters

[Ad- gifted product] Robin is a huge fan of small figures, creatures, and blind boxes. This made the concept of Beaker Creatures fantastic for her, especially with their Beaker Creatures Reactor Pods and their Beaker Creatures Skull Mountain Volcano. These toys are aimed at children who are interested in science and learning, which is an interesting way to build more of an understanding of science.
