The Botanist – Unique Cocktails

Posted on March 9, 2020January 30, 2025 by Jupiter and Dann

[Ad- gifted experience] While in Reading, we ended up at the bar of The Botanist, through a slight mix up. Normally, a mix up is never the best situation, but as it happens, The Botanist is a wonderful venue with very unique and tasty drinks, which we were very excited to try. After our Day Out in London Bridge, finding ourselves with a couple of rounds of interesting drinks to taste sounded like a surprisingly great way to end our day.

We took the time to try a handful of the most unique and interesting cocktails on the menu and Dann tried a beer type he had not had before. These cocktails not only tasted delicious but also came in a variety of strange and intriguing glasses! We drank our drinks in rounds, so see the captions of pictures to know what drink goes with what name.

World Book Day Crafting Challenge by Viking

Posted on March 5, 2020August 27, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] Today is World Book Day, a day that helps promote the idea of reading, books, copyright, and much more. I am sure many people are celebrating by checking out their favourite book, visiting a library or dressing up as their favourite characters. I had not celebrated World Book Day before, so when Viking Direct reached out to with a challenge to do something a little different, I jumped on board. I am not the craft-y-est person in the world, but I really love doing little projects and crafts – and am trying to do more crafts this year.

Jupiter’s Adventure Bucket List

Posted on March 4, 2020July 8, 2024 by Jupiter

If you are a fan of reading about our Day’s Out, you’ll find we go on a lot of adventures. I’ve been to several countries each year, experiencing loads of different cultures and foods. My job allows me to work from home, which means I am able to take opportunities that come my way and shift my work. It’s a freedom I wouldn’t give up lightly. I love adventures and I love having a partner that is so interested in going on adventures with me, so we make plans often. Instead of sharing a list of goals, as I did that in January and have already smashed through half, I figured a bucket list would be interesting! As apart of the AliKats’ Bucket List Challenge, I will now share with you 5 bucket list adventures I am totally going at some point in the future.

The Mother’s Day Prize Bundle Giveaway

Posted on March 2, 2020November 14, 2024 by Jupiter

When Mother’s Day comes around, it’s no secret that I don’t have a mother that I celebrate the day with. I am not a mother and do not feel the need to contact my estranged family, but that doesn’t mean that I do not recognize the meaning of the day or think that mothers who have done an amazing job of caring for their children should be celebrated. With that in mind, I jumped at the opportunity to team up with some fantastic bloggers to bring some prizes for Mother’s Day, so that a lucky person could pamper themselves with a big gift!

This Mother’s Day some of the top UK bloggers have united to offer one lucky winner a fabulous bundle of goodies for Mother’s Day worth in total £200. What’s more, we also have a Mother’s Day hamper for a runners up prize.

Leek and Corn Fritters (Lucy Parker) | Recipe

Posted on March 1, 2020November 14, 2024 by Jupiter and Dann

[Ad- gifted products] March 1st is Saint David’s day – a day celebrating the patron saint of Wales. This is a national festival where Saint David was recognized as a national patron saint at a peak time of Welsh resistance to the Normans. Some traditional festivities see people wearing daffodils and leeks, as well as recognizing symbols of Wales and Saint David respectively. Eating traditional Welsh food like cawl and Welsh rarebit and wearing traditional Welsh dress. More and more cities are putting on parades to celebrate the day.

Though we are not Welsh, we both quite like cerebrating traditions and learning more about other cultures, so when The British Leeks Growers’ Association reached out with some information on the event and a few beautiful recipes, we felt it would be perfect to fit into One Recipe a Week, where we take a look at a new recipe each and every week to share it with you. There were a bunch of recipes to choose from, all by Lucy Parker. We chose the Tangy leek and corn fritters with lime mayo.
