Climbing Fort Lovrijenac in Dubrovnik

Posted on July 22, 2025July 23, 2025 by Jupiter

While visiting the Old Town in Dubrovnik, we saw so many people climbing along the wall of the Old Town itself. This wall looked really crowded to us, and in the sun we didn’t want to actually hike up that many stairs. So, within eyeshot of the area, we decided to go up to Fort Lovrijenac, which is far less crowded, has less stairs, and still has fantastic views of both the ocean and the Old Town. This was a really fantastic decision for us, though if the weather was a little less hot, we might have ended up doing both as you can get a combination ticket to explore both the wall around the Old Town and this historical fort.

Checking out St Clare Summer Fayre 2025

Posted on July 18, 2025August 4, 2025 by Jupiter

When it comes to fayres, England seems to have a lot of them! St Clare Summer Fayre is a yearly event, this one being the second we have gone too. Earlier last year, we got more involved with St Clare’s Hospice, which is what this fayre is put on for. Years ago, Dann’s sister lived out her final days at the hospice, which took very good care of her, so they do have a soft spot in our families heart. The fayre is aimed at raising money for the hospice, but also has stalls from other local charities, along with games and stands of fun stuff to do.

Panic Room Harlow – Sherlock Holmes Room

Posted on July 16, 2025July 29, 2025 by Jupiter

Last year, at Robin’s international evening at school, she won a raffle prize and picked vouchers for the Panic Room in Harlow. As it’s been a year since that’s happened, we finally got around to using the vouchers, as this weekend was extremely rainy and we needed a good indoor activity. We’ve done several escape rooms previously, which is probably why Robin picked this voucher among all of the toys that were on the table. Panic Room Harlow has a few different rooms to pick from, but Robin chose the Sherlocks Holmes room, primarily because she’s a detective and he’s a detective, so it sounded like a great fit.

Bouquet Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Posted on July 10, 2025July 23, 2025 by Jupiter

Each month, Amelia and I take a little mother-daughter time going to a cupcake class, to decorate a bunch of cupcakes. We have been going for quite some time now, but we still find a class we haven’t taken each month to enjoy, primarily due to the new classes that Sweet Designs by Jennie is always coming up with! The bouquet cupcake course was one that Amelia was particularly interested in, as we primarily have done classes that had a lot of fondant work, and this class was all about piping!

Museum of Senses – Unique, Playful Museum

Posted on July 8, 2025July 23, 2025 by Jupiter

I am a fan of strange or more interactive museums and lately we’ve been hitting them all. When deciding what to do for our day, Dann picked out the Museum of Senses, which was a really fantastic choice. This is a great place for fun-loving adults or kids alike. We went in early afternoon, on a Monday, so had the whole place to ourselves, which was a nice bonus. My feet were pretty tired from walking everywhere, so the idea that we were going to take them off and wear the socks felt very fun! The ticket price does not include their special socks, which are an extra 3 Euros, just as a warning.
