MurWalls LIVE repaints Harlow Town Centre at Harlow Street Art Festival

Harlow is going through this massive bout of revitalization, with lots of little projects being done all throughout the town in order to bring life back to things that have otherwise not been touched in a while. Before the end of the last year, a bunch of blue boarding walls have been put up across the back of Harlow Town Centre, to protect the walk from the anticipated destruction of the buildings behind the walls, which need to come down for re-building. Harlow then put on a Street Art Festival with the help of MurWalls LIVE to bring some color and fun to these boards, creating a real sense of community and life at the back of town.

The Sarah McGuinness Story at the Circle & Star Hampstead

[Ad- gifted experience] The Sarah McGuinness Story is a very personal musical cabaret, a completely one-person show, about Sarah McGuinness’ life, played by her. We went to see this show in The Circle & Star Hampstead, which is a small venue, attached to a pub – and it was packed. The venue being super intimate and sort of filled to the brim did feel right for this type of performance, in a lot of ways.

Taylormania at the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

[Ad- gifted experience] Amelia and I have been to the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch quite a few times over the years, seeing a large number of plays! Dann and I also go there from time to time, but when faced with Taylormania, it was a girls night with Amelia and Robin only. Amelia is such a big fan of music in general, being fantastic at a few instruments herself and Robin is a big Taylor Swift fan, so we were pretty excited to get along to one of our favorite theatres, where Katy Ellis was preforming for the third year running. This show goes through a bunch of Taylor Swift’s iconic songs and eras, complete with backup dancers and costume changes, showing a variety of her music.

Seeing animals at Tiergarten Schonbrunn

When we are on holiday, we always find ourselves at a zoo or an aquarium! This time, we visited Tiergarten Schonbrunn, which was right by the cafe where we had breakfast the same day. This zoo has over 500 different animals on show, each with their own large enclosures, which is always great to see! This zoo is an entire day out type of zoo, if you really want to explore everything, as it is truly massive. We did not have an entire day, so didn’t end up seeing everything, but am very excited to go back and see more at some point.

Flower and Lace Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Every month, Amelia and I go to a cupcake class! We’ve been doing this for well over a year (nearly two, I think!) and have not had a duplicate class yet. Sweet Designs by Jennie creates lots of new designs each month, however, the Flower and Lace Cupcake Class was a classic that we had not gotten around to getting to yet. It’s got a lot of fondant decorating, including creating little fondant flowers. Like all of the classes, Sweet Designs by Jennie has new tools and new techniques.
