Meeting the Highland Cows at Redburn Cafe & Gift Shop

Meeting the Highland Cows at Redburn Cafe & Gift Shop

Posted on by Jupiter

When we were staying with Abbey Holidays at The Highland Club in Loch Ness, we really wanted to see the Highland Cows. By “we”, I do primarily mean me, I think. Growing up, I had a cow. I lived in the countryside. I really do like cows! And these long-haired cows with their horns were very new to me, so I really wanted to see one and pet one in real life. I was pretty confused that we didn’t see any driving up to Loch Ness, so when we set out to the Redburn Cafe & Gift Shop, as they have cows on their property, I was very excited.

Hot Pot at Happy Lamb Holborn

Hot Pot at Happy Lamb Holborn

Dann and I don’t tend to celebrate Valentine’s Day on the day. There are always too many people out and about, and we have traditions that we do with our own children that we prioritise. However, we do take a day out of the beginning of February and go out for Hot Pot. Hot Pot is one of Dann’s favorite things to have, and it’s a food that you eat slowly, while talking and hanging out, so it’s a great way to reflect on your relationship and each other. As a bonus, it’s absolutely delicious! This year, we went to Happy Lamb in Holborn.

Fancy Meal at Brinchi Steakhouse

Fancy Meal at Brinchi Steakhouse

When it comes to trying out new places to eat, Dann and I are always excited! At the very back of the town centre in Harlow, Brinchi Steakhouse has opened in this year. This isn’t the most pleasant part of the town, with parking being primarily at the other side towards the Water Gardens, but it’s well worth the walk! Brinchi Steakhouse has an interesting menu, containing pasta, pizza, Turkish food and of course, lots of steak and beef-based dishes. Dann and I went on a random Sunday for a massive lunch, where the staff were very welcoming.

Dinner at The Refinery CityPoint

Dinner at The Refinery CityPoint

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I have previously been to the Refinery CityPoint for drinks and had a pretty good time, so we were both excited to have dinner there! We went for a big meal out, with a bunch of our work team, after one of our main events. There were a lot of us, so we pre-ordered about a week before, giving us each little name tag reminders of what we actually picked out, which was very useful as I did not remember in the slightest.

Eating noodles at UDON Bilbao Abando

Eating noodles at UDON Bilbao Abando

Posted on by Jupiter

After visiting the Guggenheim in Bilbao, we were all looking for a place to eat, so stumbled upon UDON Bilbao Abando. This Asian restaurant is quite nearby, has a sustainability award, and says they specialize in noodles. I am a huge fan of both noodles and Asian food, so was very interested in eating here. As they had some vegan options, for our vegan friend, we went right in to see if it was as good as expected.
