Dann and I had a little overnight in Cambridge, to pretend to be tourists in a new place, essentially. When walking around one of the streets in the sunshine, we stumbled upon the Cambridge Gin Laboratory, which had a bunch of events listed on their door. They seem to do a collection of things from making your own gin to the history of gin, to a gin cocktail class that we ended up attending called Mix It!

When somewhere says they have the greatest views of a city we are in, we have to take a look. I am not sure why, it’s just always something that we end up doing. So, when we saw a sign outside Great St. Mary’s Church saying it was the best view of Cambridge, we went in to climb the towers! Great St. Mary’s Church is also known as the University Church of Cambridge, built in 1209. The building was then rebuilt in the Perpendicular Gothic style between 1478 and 1608, with the university’s bells added to it.
We have seen the Harlow Ballet preform at Harlow Playhouse previously, as this is something Amelia really loves to attend. Her bestie actually is a member of this group, so she had been quite excited for some time, hearing about their rehearsals. So, on the day they showcased, Robin, Amelia, Dann and I all headed to see the Harlow Ballet preform Cinderella at Harlow Playhouse.

Now, it’s not often that our teenager asks to go to something. He’s in his grumpy, teen-age-era, as most 16 year old boys are. However, after going to a bunch of plays with Amelia and Robin, Kai announced he wanted to go to a panto. There wasn’t much notice at all, but we jumped at him wanted to attend something, so we went to see Beauty and The Beast Pantomime at Hertfordshire Studios.

[Ad- gifted experience]Â We often go to the Queen’s theatre Hornchurch to see a number of plays throughout the year. They’ve got one auditorium, where their stage is front and centre. It’s a fantastic venue, always full of life. Before going in, they’ve got a little children’s book and play area, a cafe and a bar on the other side. Often, Dann and I go to shows for older audiences in the evening, but during the Easter break, we went to see There’s a Monster in Your Show with Robin and Amelia. Robin use to have the Monster in Your Books, back when we did bedtime reading, and was excited to see a show all around these characters.
