Dog Man Attack of the Fleas Board Game - Working Together to Destroy a Robot

Dog Man Attack of the Fleas Board Game – Working Together to Destroy a Robot

Posted on by Jupiter

After playing the incredibly easy Dog Man The Flip-O-Rama Game, Robin was very excited to dive into some more challenging Dog Man games. The next on our pile was Dog Man Attack of the Fleas Board Game, which to my understanding, is from a specific chapter of the book, around Dog Man and the crew attacking a FLEAS Robot character. Robin was pretty excited to try out the story in her book, on a table, together.

Trying new Higgidy products for an easy lunch

Trying new Higgidy products for an easy lunch

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted products] Higgidy has been a go-to brand for us when it comes to picnics or easy grab-and-go snacks. Our family associates them with vegan products or products that don’t contain any meat. When looking at all of their new stock, we noticed that they had a bunch of new meat pies and other savouries that we had not tried before! Excited, we set up a little indoor picnic, as it’s quite cold and windy outside, where we could try a bunch of picky bits.

Exploring Flatford for Lunch

Exploring Flatford for Lunch

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] The world seems to be defrosting, cold mornings are no longer here, and birds have started to come out in full force! With the opening of Flatford’s tea room, Dann and I decided to check out this National Trust site to see how it defrosted along with the rest of the world. We have not previously been to Flatford before and were curious as there were a lot of things to see there.

River Stour

Flatford has a beautiful river you can walk along or go over, called River Stour. It had been raining lately when we went, so the river itself was absolutely gushing, which was very fun to walk along and see. They have a few locks along the river, along with benches to sit and bird watch on it. The field around the river had some flooding, so a lot of the ducks and geese had been exploring this new pond of theirs, but there were plenty of wildlife around. It’s actually a fantastic place to go bird watching!

Lunch out at The Green Man Pub

Lunch out at The Green Man Pub

Posted on by Jupiter

While out running some errands with a friend, Dann and I wanted to stop for a slightly bigger lunch as we had a busy day ahead. Wanting to try a pub we’ve seen a few times, we headed over to The Green Man Pub in Old Harlow. The Green Man Pub is in a historic 14th century Jacobean style building, with a lot of character to it. There is a dedicated car park, outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating. It’s also dog friendly, with treats within one of the entrances.

We went on a soggy afternoon, when the pub was just starting to fill up. We sat ourselves down and checked out the dinner menu. They have a few highlighted beers and some specials that end up rotating along with a classic pub menu. Though we were there for lunch, we ordered off of the dinner menu as that’s what caught our eye.

P for Pizza Kids Menu - Ideal for Younger Children

P for Pizza Kids Menu – Ideal for Younger Children

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to board games, P for Pizza is one that we’ve played time and time again. It’s a very easy to set up and play game, with no real rules needing explaining, as it feels so natural! We use to play P for Pizza as a starter game for our bi-weekly board games at Geek Retreat, but we found Robin really struggled to keep up with the rest of us, due to being so much younger. When they released P for Pizza Kids Menu, she was really pumped to have a version designed for younger kids!
