As previously mentioned, this year is the Year of Escape Rooms, so we are going to be trying out as many as we can. Last year, we went to Escape Hunt Lakeside for their Alice in Puzzeland room, which was pretty good, so we figured we’d try another one there. This time, we went for Blackbeard’s Treasure – which, you may have guessed, is a pirate-themed escape room.

Whenever we travel to any country for Pokemon Go, it’s likely that our friends Molly and Husky are there. And if they are there, they always recommend the best ramen places! Husky, like me and Dann, loves ramen – so he hunts out different places and tries them all. Tokyo Ramen Takeichi seems to be a franchise, with a few different locations, but we went to the one in Amsterdam! This chain started in Japan, known for it’s heathy ramens, and has expanded into Europe over the years.

Dann and I made a day of being in King’s Lynn when I was in the area for a work trip, so we headed to The Gooderstone Water Gardens, as Dann always loves a little walk around a nature reserve, and so do I! The Gooderstone Water Gardens is a really interesting area, as it feels quant; like someone’s large back garden that they’ve let us all wander around. This area has a car park, which is easy to find, and then a little entrance. There wasn’t anyone there – but there was a card reader asking people to pay a fee to enter, with the concept of trust being the judge! If you are a resident, then the price is much cheaper, but there are also options to have season tickets and different rates in the summertime and wintertime.

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I have actually previously been to Cote, as it’s a French chain restaurant, that always has seasonal specials that rotate. Last time we went to one in another nearby town, Dann had one of the specials, which he very much liked. I had the beef Bourgoin, which I was inspired to make at home for our family. This time, however, we were going to the one in Welwyn Garden City, though it’s very much the same vibe as the one we’ve gone to before.
[Ad- gifted product]Â We’ve previously reviewed Plus Plus, which are these sort of building piece toys, which can be plugged together to make a puzzle or build something, basically. Now, the same brand, has come out with the Plus Plus Hexel – which is designed to be a fidget toy perfect for kids who like to keep their hands busy while doing other activities. Fidgets are such a popular type of toy, it does make sense to want to branch into them, especially as the Plus Plus on their own have a fun texture and can be very soothing to play around with.
