Lockdown has brought us some of the best DIY kits out there. We have loved doing the Doughnut Time DIY kits for desserts, but when one of our favorite ramen places, Shoryu, started offering a selection of DIY Shoryu Kits, I was well onboard. These ramen kits feed two for £20, which is what you’d expect to pay for a lovely bowl of ramen. We purchased the Ganso kit, which has our favorite pork broth.

[Ad- gifted product] As you know, I love Pancake so much. So does Dann. We both just love our cat. He’s the most adorable, fun little cat I have ever met. He is also a massive coward, who would never be Jedi. But, I am sure, even little Pancake has dreams. Iconic Paw allowed Pancake’s dreams to be realised, in some way, with their customised paintings – which come in a variety of different themes from royal-looking pets, to pets to Mario pets – and it’s quite easy to get one of your dog or cat.

[Ad- gifted product] As apart of Veganuary, we are trying out some different recipes and vegan snacks to see how they are! One of our favorite vegan brands are OGGS, who make a range of snacks, along with an egg alternative called Aquafaba. This egg alternative works well as mock egg whites, whipping up just like them! Each carton contains about four eggs worth, which is plenty to bake with, use in recipes, cook with, and otherwise enjoy. I was very happy with the texture of these egg whites – and we went for a buffalo cauliflower recipe, complete with glaze, and a refreshing dip to go along with it. OGGS has plenty of recipes for Aquafaba, which you can find on their website, and we’ll be trying a few more things out this month as well!

[Ad- gifted product] After reading Granny Franny’s Big Red Bus, we were excited to hear that that wasn’t the end of Granny Franny’s adventures in the wider world! Instead of just touring around London, she actually spent a day at the zoo in Granny Franny’s Big Zoo Rescue. In this storybook, Granny Franny and the big red bus tries to take the twins, Ronni and Jax, to the zoo! She’s volunteered to take their entire school on a trip to the zoo, using the same bus from the previous book.
We do like to go out into nature from time to time, normally to local forests to look at mushrooms or make little camps. Wanting to do something a bit different, we decided to check out The Gruffalo Trail, which is a big walk in the forest that features statues from the book The Gruffalo. The Gruffalo Trail is apart of the Essex Wildlife Trust, so it is a well maintained area that has quite a bit to offer. It’s a free walk that even includes a little map, if you go into the gift shop/cafe to grab it – the only thing you need to pay for is parking.
