Exploring Battersea Light Festival 2025

Posted on February 19, 2025March 5, 2025 by Jupiter

Dann and I both very much love a light festival. We go to as many as possible throughout the year, so of course we walked around Battersea to see the Battersea Light Festival again this year. They had a lot going on this year, with the Light Festival taking place during the February half-term, along with different free activities that families can take part in during the day, including stain glass making, painting and so much more. We just went for the light festival, but saw the signs for the other activities which did look like fun!

Valentine’s Day Cupcake with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Posted on February 17, 2025February 15, 2025 by Jupiter

Amelia and I go to a cupcake decorating class every month, as a bit of mother-daughter time, and this month Sweet Designs by Jennie had a special Valentine’s Day class, the day before Valentine’s Day, so you can make a half dozen cupcakes to share with your loved one. This class, unlike a lot of the others by Sweet Designs by Jennie, only comes around once a year, so we were both pretty excited as we hadn’t made these before.

Harlow Chinese School – Hot Pot Party

Posted on February 7, 2025February 7, 2025 by Jupiter

When it comes to cooking at the Harlow Chinese School, a lot of the prep work is already done for us. This is totally okay with me, as I am more than happy to primarily do the eating! with the first course of the New Year, Sun Yong wanted to do something a bit different, and prepare a Hot Pot Party. This was more of a big social event, where we were just cooking out own Hot Pot and talking with each other. Honestly, it felt like a great community activity and a lovely way to start off the New Year without any sort of pressure.

Spending a few days at Ercilla de Bilbao

Posted on February 5, 2025February 19, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] When it comes to staying in a hotel, you’ll want to make sure somewhere that is enjoyable. Ercilla de Bilbao is a fantastic choice, right in the center of Bilbao. From the moment we went towards the entrance, which is set down, as if walking into some underground sanctuary. The staff at the entrance was very welcoming, quickly checking in everyone (as a bunch of us had arrived at the same time). If you have a lot of luggage, they are happy to bring it right to your room!

Exploring Flatford for Lunch

Posted on February 3, 2025February 2, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] The world seems to be defrosting, cold mornings are no longer here, and birds have started to come out in full force! With the opening of Flatford’s tea room, Dann and I decided to check out this National Trust site to see how it defrosted along with the rest of the world. We have not previously been to Flatford before and were curious as there were a lot of things to see there.

River Stour

Flatford has a beautiful river you can walk along or go over, called River Stour. It had been raining lately when we went, so the river itself was absolutely gushing, which was very fun to walk along and see. They have a few locks along the river, along with benches to sit and bird watch on it. The field around the river had some flooding, so a lot of the ducks and geese had been exploring this new pond of theirs, but there were plenty of wildlife around. It’s actually a fantastic place to go bird watching!
