Birthday Dinner at Bang Bang Oriental Foodhall

For Dann’s Birthday dinner this year, he wanted to go along to Bang Bang Oriental Foodhall! We’ve previously gone a few times with friends, and had taken Kai, Amelia and Robin a few years back. As Kai has been on a health journey, and often is forced to have a lot of rest days at his other house or doesn’t have accurate calories counted for him, we don’t really go to places that would be frustrating or require a break. However, he’s been making his own food lately, so we felt now was the time!

Science Snippets The Human Body provides casual learning through flash cards

[Ad- gifted product] Now that back-to-school is in full swing, we often want to support the children’s learning with things at home. Amelia has a drumming kit that goes along with her schooling, Robin has some multiplication apps and songs, as she was struggling with them, Kai has an entire account for his GCSE practice that we got for him over the summer (though not as fun as the other two). Sometimes, having toys around the house that aren’t directly related to their currently learning will inspire them to learn more casually. Science Snippets The Human Body is a bundle of flash cards that answer how, what and why questions directly to do with the human body.

Trying Different Foods at Shelter Hall

Food halls are a really fun way to try a bunch of different food or to eat a bunch of food with different people. When we are in Brighton for our yearly work trip, there is often an event at Shelter Hall, which has everyone meeting up, taking over the hall, and ordering some tasty food. Shelter Hall is a food hall full of different eateries, with tables in the middle. It’s a bit of a share the area experience as the tables are long and everyone sits together. Food is brought over to your table from the different venues, so you need to keep an ear out, but there is so much variety! Everything is ordered through an app and paid through the app, so you don’t need to get up or look at different menus.

EUGY 3D Puzzles – Creating 3D Animals and Dinosaurs

[Ad- gifted product] We have previously, though many years ago, tried out the EUGY 3D Puzzle for Meerkats, but Robin was much younger and not into puzzles, so it was something Amelia put together. When we were gifted two of the EUGY 3D Puzzles, Robin was excited for her chance to build them and have the little models in her own room. These 3D puzzles are very easy to set up and put together, offering a fantastic rainy day activity, which is often needed in the autumn time. EUGY 3D Puzzles have a large number of animals, dinosaurs, mythical creatures and sea life for you to put together, all following the same sort of format. Each one has their own number as well, which encourages collecting them all!

Eating at Mi Barrio Hitchin in The George Pub

Dann and I love adventures and fun, one-off events, so when we saw The George Pub in Hitchin was running a Street Art festival for one day, we wanted to see exactly what that meant! This festival ran from midday until dinnertime, so we stopped by in the middle of the time, to see how everything was set up and to try some of the food served by Mi Barrio Hitchin in The George Pub. This is a bit of an interesting one; Mi Barrio Hitchin basically rents the pub’s kitchen, creating their own South American Tapas that can be purchased and eaten within the pub. Let’s get into the food.
