A Day Out at Horrible Histories – Barmy Britain at Harlow Playhouse

We have very nearly seen every single Horrible Histories play. With just two left, when Horrible Histories – Barmy Britain was shown as playing locally, there was no way that we couldn’t attend! We’ve actually never been to the Harlow Playhouse before, as a family, and decided to invite along one of Kai’s friends. Since Kai’s friend was with us, he was pretty busy hanging out, and we didn’t end up getting a family photo – but that’s okay, as we did enjoy the performance so much – as did his mate.

Lunch and Cocktails at The Fizzy Tarte

When it comes to eating lunch, Dann and I are not big sandwich fans generally, if I am honest. Though, we were wanting something light and not too hot when the weather was wonderful, so we took at chance at The Fizzy Tarte – a gastro-pub looking place, which serves sandwiches, charcuterie boards and craft cocktails! The Fizzy Tarte does more than just lunch and brunch. They have master classes in cocktail making and afternoon tea if that’s your thing too.

Classic Reuben and Monte Cristo

Wubble is so much more than a normal ball

[Ad- gifted product] I feel like I have seen advertisements for the Wubble for years now. I am not sure why I have spent so long thinking it was just a giant ball, and that we had tons of those. Robin recently asked for a Wubble, as she told me it was much more than a ball, and something that is more like a bubble in texture, somehow. Though she is only seven and sometimes is not someone to completely trust, Robin was very right – the Wubble is much more than a ball.

Getting Outside with Brainstorm Outdoor Adventure Toys

[Ad- gifted products] With the weather becoming so lovely in England, we have been trying to get outdoors more! Walks, beach days, and riding bikes is such a seasonal thing, that you really do need to take advantage of the sunny weather as soon as it appears. Robin, Kai and Amelia are all really good about playing outside, but it’s always best to get a few new summer toys at the start of the season to really brighten up the idea of being out of the house and away from screens.

Trying Michelin Star Award Winning Pasta at Bancone

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I went with our friends Ryan and Tom to try some pasta dishes at Bancone! Bancone is a fancy feeling, yet quite affordable, award winning pasta restaurant that has a small menu of starters, mains and a few deserts to choose from, as well as a wine and cocktail menu. The place itself had a bit of a strange vibe. The outside, featuring a big white fabric awning didn’t seem to match the interior and felt a little dated. Inside, the place was very well decorated, but the music didn’t really match the feeling that you’d get when being at such a fancy place. This was something Dann commented on a lot since – that he’d change the music to match the venue instead of playing Smash Mouth and the like. But, let’s get onto the real star, the food.
