A Day Out at Hyde Hall Easter Trail

Last year, due to lockdown restrictions, we actually got along to quite a few different Easter Trails in our local area. The kids had a really good time at them, so this year we took a look to see if any new Easter trails popped up, and found one at Hyde Hall that looked quite unique! Hyde Hall is a massive garden space, with plants from many different biomes. For Easter, they put a bunch of huge Eggs around their gardens, along with information on the flowers and riddles to guess what bird has the type of egg shown on the sign.

A Day Out at the San Francisco Botanical Garden

While visiting San Francisco, we decided to spend a few days exploring the sites and seeing whatever we could. One of the places that Dann was most excited for was the San Francisco Botanical Gardens, which is a huge gardens and green space with plants from all over the world! California has really good weather at this time of year, so walking around the gardens was a really fun time.

Relaxing at Stoke by Nayland Resort

It was my birthday in February, so Dann and I decided to spend the night at Stoke by Nayland Resort, experiencing their spa, restaurant and spending the night there! This location is a little out in the countryside, with not much around it (we didn’t even have cell service!) but there was plenty of relaxing to be done in the building itself! The main reason we picked Stoke by Nayland Resort was due to their spa package, of which they have a really amazing looking spa that we just had to go and take advantage of.

A Day Out at Pinball Republic London

If you are a pinball fan, this club is a place where you can really play a variety of machines, and unlike arcades at the pier, it doesn’t cost you 25p or even a pound a go.

Gourmaze The Sweet Escape has you finding sweet treats!

[Ad- gifted experience] When it comes to exploring London, there are so many options for what to do and what to eat. However, Gourmaze has put together a maze, filled with puzzles and riddles, to deliver mystery food to you and your friends. I went off to do The Sweet Escape mission, along with Dann and our friend Tom who does not like his face being shown. We started off by going to a pub in the centre of London, and texting a phone number.
