[Ad- gifted experience] Twelfth Night at Drayton Arms Theatre was such a lovely rendition of a Shakespeare classic. This is a theatre we have never been before, which was above a pub. It’s one of those smaller, cozy theatres without assign seating, where you feel like you blend into the play itself. Dann and I sat in the front row, which is more important later.
Harlow Town use to have a Harlow Town Show, many, many years back. Recently, as a part of their new developments within Harlow, they’ve been hosting more events. We’ve seen the Christmas Market, the Graffiti Festival, Lions on the Loose, and now the Harlow Town Show. This event specifically was meant for only people who live in Harlow (they had this whole ticket verification processes and everything), as it was put on for the people of Harlow.
Harlow Town Show Ticket Situation
The event had different stands and shows on each day, for three days. We went on the Sunday, going to both the daytime show and the night show. (Friday and Saturday also had a night show. Both night shows were ticketed separately to the daytime shows.) The tickets for the Harlow Town Show were very confusing generally, with Friday and Saturday evenings being labelled as 18+ only, but also Sunday evening shows saying the same in their emails – and there was this whole thing where they’d call and “check” if you were living in Harlow if you got a ticket – but obviously some people just lied and brought their out of town family members anyway. It’s all a bit of a strange thing!
While in Canada, my time zone was all out of whack. The weather was fantastic in the evenings, so I wanted to do something that involved walking around and seeing something interesting, so I went to the Neon Sign Museum! This is a free, outdoor exhibition space between two buildings, full of neon signs and history around these signs.
Once a month, Amelia and I go to a cupcake class together! It’s a sort of mother-daughter bonding time that we both very much enjoy, however, Amelia asked to have a few friends over and all go to this class, and of course, why wouldn’t we? The Wonderland cupcake class hosted by Sweet Designs by Jennie was such a fun one for friends as well. Amelia had two of her friends along, one of which who isn’t photographed – we all had a fantastic time.
We do love going out and doing various different things! I have not been to a stadium gig, so when I heard My Chemical Romance was playing, I figured I knew enough of their music to go along. At first, I invited Dann, but he said he wasn’t a big enough fan really. Kai overheard this conversation and said he was, and that he wanted to go. So there was two of us. When talking about possibly going, Amelia said ‘I like live music’ and after a bit of talking, we decided that she would go even though it’s not her favorite type of music.
