[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I have driven some boats before, primarily during our yearly holiday, however we have not tried out GoBoat before right on Canary Wharf! When they reached out, they explained we could have up to eight people in the boat. As someone who has not fully seen these types of boats in real life, I invited six of my friends into London to try out the boat, assuming we’d be cozy at eight people.
Every month, for over a year now, we have gone to a cupcake class by Sweet Designs by Jennie. These classes are fantastic – we always have so much fun and it’s a great time for Amelia and I to bond, one on one, so makes for a fantastic mother-daughter activity. This time, however, to celebrate Amelia and her best friend’s friendship day, we took along her bestie to try it out. These classes are on the smaller side, being a maximum of 6 people, so everything feels very cozy and easy to follow.

[Ad- gifted experience] Last year, Dann took Robin, Kai and Amelia to Markshall Estate for Enlightened while I was away in Spain for a work trip. This year, however, I was able to come along with them and they got to show me all of the lights and areas that they enjoyed about this light walk. Enlightened has a few different light trails in Essex and beyond, of which we have gone to all of them over the years! Hyland Estate was our first ever light trail, so we do love all of the different areas that Enlightened has to offer, as they feel like classics and must haves in a light walk.

[Ad- gifted experience] We do get along to a lot of pantomimes during the holiday season, but Maddie Moate’s Very Curious Christmas at the Garrick Theatre is a Christmas-themed play that doesn’t have any aspect of panto in it – an entertaining break from the traditional! This play is for a younger audience, primarily engaging people Robin’s page and younger. With that said, myself, Amelia and even Kai were interested in a few of the tricks and experiments that were on display.

[Ad- gifted experience]Â As you may have guessed, it’s Panto season in England, and we have gone to a number of pantos this year! Last year, we saw a performance of Snow White at Fairfield Halls Theatre and previously we have been to the South Mill Arts Centre to see a One Many play, so we were really excited to get along for another Christmas classic. This panto actually leaned heavily on the musical side of things, which was a neat twist on the performance.
