Contact Coffee Co’s Shots Fired! Makes a Mean Espresso

[Ad- gifted products] I don’t know about you, but I don’t often sit down and think about the military. I guess this means, for the most part, that they’re doing their job just fine. I don’t really have a segue to link that to the coffee, beyond the fact that a couple of British chaps in the armed forces decided to dedicate time and effort into levelling up the sub-par instant coffee that they were getting while out there on operations. The result is Contact Coffee Co, who have sent us along a pouch of Shots Fired, a smooth, medium-roast coffee.

Weekend Away with Abbey Holidays in Scotland

[Ad- gifted experience] We are always looking to explore new places and a weekend away always feels like such a good time to reset. Dann and I actually went with Abbey Holidays Loch Ness, who put us up in The Highland Club in one of their apartments for three nights in the middle of the week, doing a sort of working from somewhere else trip. The Highland Club is right in Loch Ness, which neither of us had ever explored previously, so we were excited to be going to a new area!

Loch Ness is very touristy, it’s a place that feels ideal for a slow-paced holiday. The Highland Club is a short walk from Loch Ness, right at the top of the town. It’s easy to walk to restaurants, take an explore around Loch Ness, and even take a cruise through the middle. We spent a lot of our time relaxing on this holiday, which was just what we needed! This place is ideal for families as well as individuals just looking to get away and connect in nature. As we went in Autumn, all of the mountains and leaves were absolutely beautiful – it was like something out of a fairy tale.

Night out at Cammas Hall Bonfire Night

We went to Cammas Hall earlier in the year for Strawberry Picking and more recently for their Pumpkin Patch, but were delighted when Amelia’s friend’s parents invited our family to the Cammas Hall Bonfire Night so that all of our kids could hang out and have a good time in the evening! We had not been before, however they had, and we were pretty excited to finally try all of the food carts there, as it felt like the perfect excuse to try out dinner at the venue. It’s worth noting this event is paid by car, not by person, and only happens for two days of each year.
