Lunch on the Bustronome Voyage Gourmand in London

[Ad- gifted experience] I had no idea that you could eat food while traveling on a bus in London, until Robin and I attended the Grinchmas afternoon tea bus last year. It turns out, there are a ton of these sort of tour a bus around London while having a full experience. The Bustronome experience takes you all around iconic landmarks in London, while serving very fancy looking French food! There is a four course lunch option as well as a six course dinner option, depending on what time of day you end up going.

Butlin’s Skegness Easter Feat The Masked Singer

We are a big adventure family and love going on holidays and days out. As Kai and Amelia get older, its much easier to plan a holiday away then it is to find a bunch of events that work well for a 7 year old but also a 12 year old and 14 year old. Last Easter break, we went to Butlin’s Minehead, so this Easter Robin asked so many times to go back to Butlin’s – and we picked Skegness for a weekend away.

A Day Out at Silence at the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I went along to see Silence at the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch which is a powerful and emotional performance that features a collection of stories around the 1947 partition of India into West Pakistan and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). These stories contain a lot of violence and trauma, which is why they often go untold, and these stories, coupled with not being taught in schools in Britain, have left a lot of this history to fade away. Silence has been adapted from Kavita Puri’s book Partition Voices: Untold British Stories.

A Day Out at London Zoo

Over the Easter Break, we wanted to go on as many adventures as possible! One of the things our children have asked to do is see more animals this year, and as we live so close to London, Dann and I felt it was the perfect time to go to the London Zoo! The London Zoo had a giant Easter Egg trail on, spread around primarily the main area of the zoo (by the shops) but also had just so much to explore.

Easter Trail at Parndon Wood Nature Reserve

We are a big outdoor family, who love adventure. So, when our local nature reserve announced their yearly Easter trail, we were excited to book up tickets and attend. Parndon Wood Nature Reserve doe shave a lot going on generally, from themed trails throughout the year, to crafting days, to night walks. We’ve previously been to their Christmas Trail last year, and often visit on the weekends, but hadn’t been to their Easter Trail.
