Climbing Great St. Mary’s Church

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.

So, on the day they showcased, Robin, Amelia, Dann and I all headed to see the Harlow Ballet preform Cinderella at Harlow Playhouse.

Beauty and The Beast Pantomime at Hertfordshire Studios

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.

There’s a Monster in Your Show at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

[Ad- gifted experience] 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.

Easter Fun at Lush Chelmsford Easter Party

Last Easter holiday, we spent a lot of time at Easter Trails in Essex. This time, we wanted to do some fun activities that were Easter themed, but not trails out and about. So, we went along to the Lush Chelmsford Easter Party! They actually do a bunch of different party events throughout the year. We have seen a few of them and know people that went to them, but have never ended up booking up one for ourselves. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but everyone was in good spirits to try something new – even Kai, the most teenager of the bunch.
