Christmas Range at British Garden Centre Braintree

[Ad- PR Experience] Christmas is such a magical time of year and one that involves a lot of shopping. With that in mind, the British Garden Centre ran a press night to show off all of the new products and lines that they will be stocking all around the United Kingdom. We got to visit the Braintree centre for their Christmas event, seeing all of the items that they have to offer.

Autumn Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Amelia and I had such a good time at our last cupcake class with Sweet Designs by Jennie, that she’s been eagerly waiting for the next one! When Sweet Designs by Jennie released her Autumn Cupcake Class, I booked it up instantly. Amelia and I both very much enjoy baking and cooking together, so getting the chance to decorate six beautiful cupcakes each, as an afternoon on our own, just makes sense for our household!

Playing Arcade Games at Gravity Max Stratford

Dann is a big fan of arcades and I am a big fan of adventures! On one of the days of the summer holiday, everyone seemed a bit bored at home, so we all decided we wanted to go to an arcade. Gravity Max has recently opened up a venue in Westfield Stratford, which is quite nearby to us, so we decided to make a day out of it and see what the arcade was all about. Dann and I had recently gone to a Gravity Max for a press event for our day jobs, and ever since have been itching to take our children.

Watching the Joust at Hever Castle

Kai, being a teenager, doesn’t have a lot of interests beyond playing video games! There aren’t a lot of days out that feel like something he specifically would enjoy, so when he said he would like to see jousts, we went to one that same weekend. Then, when we saw a second joust happening at Hever Castle, we obviously went to that one as well. Hever Castle isn’t a castle we have visited before, but we did want to focus on the Joust so didn’t end up booking to see inside the castle. The grounds and gardens themselves are actually massive!

Seeing the Animals at Port Lympne Safari Park

[Ad- gifted experience] One of our goals this year was to see more animals! This was something Robin had picked as a New Years goal, so we wanted to go out to something over the summer holiday that had a bunch of animals. Port Lympne Safari Park not only had tons of animals to look at, but also had a safari trip that allowed us to learn and see so many more animals out in large spaces, so we were very excited to head along! This place is absolutely massive, we were in no way able to explore it all on the day we went, so it’s well worth checking out the map and deciding where you want to go. We skipped out on the Dino Walk, due to wanting to focus on animals, and did prioritize monkeys as they were the most exciting thing for us all. There are also feeding times listed at the entrance, if you want to watch an animal feeding.
