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.

Don’t Fall for It – Trivia-based Board Game

[Ad- gifted product] Every other week, we go to our local Geek Retreat to try out a new board game! This time, we played some Don’t Fall for It, which is a trivia-based board game with a large range of subjects. The age rating on this board game is ten and above, though, Robin is nine (nearly ten) so we figured we would see how it would go. The board itself was interesting; it folds out into a tower that you then can place a bunch of cardboard planks across the inside of the tower. There is a pre-made little triangle that goes in the bottom, and needs to be snug.

Beaker Creatures Skull Mountain Volcano – Mystery Monsters

[Ad- gifted product] Robin is a huge fan of small figures, creatures, and blind boxes. This made the concept of Beaker Creatures fantastic for her, especially with their Beaker Creatures Reactor Pods and their Beaker Creatures Skull Mountain Volcano. These toys are aimed at children who are interested in science and learning, which is an interesting way to build more of an understanding of science.
