Seeing Illusions at the Paradox Museum

Posted on January 29, 2025January 25, 2025 by Jupiter

I’ve been seeing the Paradox Museum advertised for quite some time, but wasn’t sure if it was actually worth all of the hype. Looking to do something completely new at the weekend, we finally decided to go. The Paradox Museum has several locations, but we went off to the London branch, which is relatively easy to get too. The Paradox Museum is full of different optical illusions, which have various points on where you could stand to perfectly see the illusion. When we arrived, we dropped our coats into the free coat room, then went on our adventure.

Classic Afternoon Tea on Brigit’s Bakery Bus Tour

Posted on January 22, 2025January 30, 2025 by Jupiter

Ever since Robin and I went on the Grinchmas Tour Bus last year, Amelia has been asking after going on one as well. The time finally came, the stars aligned with Robin and Amelia having the same day off of school while Kai was back at school, making it the perfect time to go on a tour of London with some snacks. We booked up an Afternoon Tea on Brigit’s Bakery Bus Tour, which is a tour of London along with some classic afternoon tea food.

Painting Pottery at The Little Arts Workshop

Most years, for Amelia’s birthday, she asks to go to a pottery place. She quite enjoys painting pottery that gets glazed and fired in a kelm, calling them “proper pottery”. So, when her birthday came around this year, we weren’t surprised that she wanted to go to a new pottery place! Recommended by a friend, we headed over to The Little Arts Workshop, which wasn’t very far from us at all.

Under the Sea Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Posted on January 17, 2025January 30, 2025 by Jupiter

The Under the Sea Cupcake Class hosted by Sweet Designs by Jennie is a theme that she has quite often, as it’s a very fun class and not very specific to any sort of holiday. We’ve done a lot of holiday-related classes in the past, so it was nice to try out a class that feels general! Our goal is to end up going to them all. Under the Sea Cupcake Class is a fondant class which requires very little piping but had some new tools to work with.

Try out Laser Quest at Flip Out Lakeside

Posted on January 15, 2025January 16, 2025 by Jupiter

I feel like Laser Quest is a bit of a hit and miss activity, but one that is aimed at teenagers and so, as parents of teenagers, we tend to find ourselves going to some arenas. We actually booked Laser Quest at Flip Out Lakeside as it was so near to us and we had never actually been before. Kai was pretty pumped, with Amelia and Robin being generally excited. The booking process was easy, however, as Flip Out is a trampoline park, it did mention we needed the trampoline socks for our Laser Quest game. Honestly thinking this was a mistake, we didn’t order them.
