[Ad – Gifted Products] Another Monday, another time to go to our local Geek Retreat and try out a game! This time, we went with Sosig, which is a bite-sized card game which could fit in your pocket, really. This tiny card game is all about building sausages that customers order, so that you can get points! The instructions are extremely straight forward (maybe too straight forward!) which makes the game easy to play.
[Ad- gifted collab]Â A few years back Dann and I made a little flower-pot pond, they were going viral on the internet and we wanted to give it a try! It’s been thriving in our backyard since, and we love looking out into the garden and seeing it. I find these little ponds to be so fun to build and watch change. We’ve seen birds taking drinks, smaller bugs on the plants and sometimes even see butterflies fluttering about! Recently Essex Local Nature Recovery Strategy has challenged people in our area to boost their local ecosystem’s biodiversity, so we’ve partnered with them to create a second mini pond, and we’ll tell you how!

This fete is an extremely local event, to Harlow, where members of the local community come together to hang out, enjoy the sunshine, and just be together.

When looking for a place to eat, my cousin suggested Sunnyside Par 3, as he had eaten there before. This is a sort of casual eatery, with golf both inside and outside.
