Visiting the Naze Nature Discovery Centre

Walton-on-the-naze is a nearby beach area that has a massive park that our children enjoy, so when I saw the Kite Festival happening at Naze Nature Discovery Centre, it felt like a good excuse to get beachside at the start of the summer holiday! Each year, the Naze Nature Discovery Centre hosts a kite festival, that allows many people to come and hang out at the centre, viewing kites that get lifted in a special kite zone and flying your own kites outside as well. There is a kite decorating course, however due to how busy our day was, we weren’t sure what time we were going to arrive for the kite festival so didn’t book it up. This activity is quite affordable, but I would recommend booking ahead and making sure you are there for your time slot!

A Day Out at Signs of the Time Music Festival

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I both enjoy a bunch of different types of music, so when we heard about the Signs of the Time Music Festival, we wanted to see what it was all about. We attended the festival on the Sunday, where we were very excited about seeing Feeder and Reverend and the Makers at the end of the evening. Both of us were also helping out the St Clare’s Hospice, who were the charity partners of the event, which means that we spent some of our time there presenting bracelets to people in exchange for donations to the Hospice.

Henry VIII’s Joust at Hampton Court Palace

If you’ve been around teenagers, you know that they often have a bit of a “meh” personality. It’s just something about being a teen – nothing is exciting, fun or cool anymore. We are a big adventure household, and though Kai does like going out, a lot of the activities aren’t super Kai focused. Recently, Kai mentioned Jousting as something he would like to see, so obviously we jumped at the idea of taking him somewhere he might really love! We went back to Hampton Court Palace to see Henry VIII’s Joust!

WE ARE PHOTO meet-up in Harlow Town Park

I have been tinkering around more with my camera, especially since picking up some new lenses! My favorite thing to take pictures of tends to be flowers, getting close up to their pedals when it comes to the morning walk to school or when out and about. I also quite like taking pictures of food, but that’s likely because I just love cooking too. I’ve had a lot of fun taking more pictures of my family as well, which I’ve been featuring around our blog.
