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!

Hops & Cans Subscription Review – 8 beers, 2 snacks, great price and great variety

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to beer subscription boxes they often fall into one of three different categories: 1) An opportunity to get cheap beer that you like from a specific brand — much like getting coffee on subscription 2) An opportunity to get something familiar and safe — like how we’d hope Online Supermarket Order Replacements would work, or 3) Getting something new and fantastical, exploring new avenues, and widening your horizons. Hops & Cans is a great example of the latter, which is super handy as that’s my favourite of the three options I mentioned.

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.
