Dann and I love trying new food and food festivals. A work friend of mine, from a job we both freelance at, has been talking for over a year now about how both her and myself need to try oysters. This has become a bit of a thing, but as we don’t live near each other, we just haven’t sorted out the time. Until she started talking about Taste of Eataly, which allows you to try a bunch of different food, including oysters.

[Ad- gifted experience]Â Another year, another MCM Comic Con London! It feels like each time this comes around, at least one kid is out of school. We’ve had a day of just Kai, a day of Kai and Amelia, and this year we got a day of just Robin and a day of just Kai! On the Friday at MCM Comic Con London 2026, we took just Robin as she was the one without school that day. Kai had also asked to attend, so we decided to take him on the Sunday, as Dann and I always tend to go two days to get everything done.
Dann is a big fan of pinball and has been for quite some time. While exploring a mall local to my hometown, we saw Arcade Archaeology – which was closed at the time. Thankfully, we messaged them and they agreed to open on a day of the week they are normally shut to let us in! Arcade Archaeology is a primarily pinball venue that’s set up like a museum. It’s a non-profit, ran by volunteers, who all very much love pinball.
Dann and I did a little explore of Cambridge, where we wanted to have some slow mornings and some walking around afternoons enjoying the sunshine. On both of the days we were in Cambridge, we explored the Cambridge Market Square. This is a historical, outdoor market right in the centre of the area, with a bunch of different independent stall holders. It’s open every single day of the week, so we were excited to see if it changed and how the market held up.
Every month, Amelia and I carve out some mother-daughter time to decorate cupcakes! This time, we went along to the Rainbow Cupcake Class – a class that has been around for quite some time, but we hadn’t actually gone before. Sweet Designs by Jennie does a handful of these classes each month, often with different themes, and we always pick a new one that we haven’t done before. The rainbow class has been one that Amelia had been eyeing for quite some time, as we hadn’t done multi-colored frosting yet.
