Checking out St Clare Summer Fayre 2025

Posted on July 18, 2025July 13, 2025 by Jupiter

When it comes to fayres, England seems to have a lot of them! St Clare Summer Fayre is a yearly event, this one being the second we have gone too. Earlier last year, we got more involved with St Clare’s Hospice, which is what this fayre is put on for. Years ago, Dann’s sister lived out her final days at the hospice, which took very good care of her, so they do have a soft spot in our families heart. The fayre is aimed at raising money for the hospice, but also has stalls from other local charities, along with games and stands of fun stuff to do.

Dinner at La Norma

Posted on July 17, 2025July 13, 2025 by Jupiter

When walking around the bay, we hadn’t really planned where we wanted to eat and instead just continued walking until something caught our eye. The restaurant we ended up at was La Norma, which has a small menu divided into fun categories called things like “I LOVE FISH” and “I LOVE MEAT”, to give an idea of what you are in the mood for. They have both upstairs outdoor seating, indoor seating, and seating by the sea! After being out in the wind, we opted for indoor seating, but do like the option to sit by the sea if the weather is fantastic.

Panic Room Harlow – Sherlock Holmes Room

Posted on July 16, 2025July 13, 2025 by Jupiter

Last year, at Robin’s international evening at school, she won a raffle prize and picked vouchers for the Panic Room in Harlow. As it’s been a year since that’s happened, we finally got around to using the vouchers, as this weekend was extremely rainy and we needed a good indoor activity. We’ve done several escape rooms previously, which is probably why Robin picked this voucher among all of the toys that were on the table. Panic Room Harlow has a few different rooms to pick from, but Robin chose the Sherlocks Holmes room, primarily because she’s a detective and he’s a detective, so it sounded like a great fit.

Untamed Cat Food – Real meat for growing cats!

Posted on July 15, 2025July 13, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] Now, we did try out Untamed Cat Food a few years back, as they were offering out trial packs to get your cats use to their tastes and see if they were any good. At the time, we had two cats, and now have a third cat that has not tried Untamed properly. With this in mind, when they reached out to offer a box for us to review, I was interested in what our newest cat thought of the brand. I remember it going down well, with the only real reason we stayed with our current cat food provider was the availability at our local shop, which is just more convenient for us.

Lunch at Rainbow and Dove Pub

Posted on July 14, 2025July 14, 2025 by Jupiter

When looking for a place for a lunch with one of our friends, Dann came across the Rainbow and Dove Pub. At the moment, we are trying to go to every place to eat in all of Harlow this year, to see what the best places are. Neither Dann and I ever really pick pubs – it’s just something we aren’t that curious about, so it’s been fun to try new pubs and see what they are like. The Rainbow and Dove is an award winning independent pub with an ever-changing menu. They have a wine of the month, burger of the month, and tons of daily specials that are dependent on the produce that the pub has received, as well as pub classics that are always there.
