A Day Out at Akvariet i Bergen – Bergen’s National Aquarium

Posted on November 21, 2021September 5, 2024 by Jupiter

I am a sucker for a good aquarium, and when asking locals what to do in Bergen, they suggested the national aquarium there. So, Dann and I went along to see what sea life we could spot there. You do enter Akvariet i Bergen through the gift shop, which is a little strange, but then you are presented with three, quite large, outdoor areas for animals. The first – and the one I was most excited about – was the penguins. I love penguins and Dann had never seen them before in real life, so we were in for a treat as they swam around, got quite close to us, and went about their day. These penguins were adorable, and it is so good to see they are out in open air, getting to experience weather.

A Day Out at Chessington World of Adventure

During the summer holiday, we wanted to make the most of it, so our family and my friend’s family went together to Chessington World of Adventure – a theme park and zoo that’s quite fun for the whole family and has so much to see, it would take several visits to view it all. This place is massive and will easily fill your entire day, especially if you like a few of the rides specifically!

Exploring Larkins Farm for Christmas Trees!

Posted on November 12, 2021November 14, 2024 by Jupiter

Christmas is coming up fast and many people are already getting ready for their Christmas decorations. One of the main decorations, the center of the entire show, is always a Christmas tree. We tend to go for real Christmas trees – there is something about going to a Christmas tree farm, taking a look at the forest of trees waiting for homes, and selecting the one that fits perfectly in your living room, to decorate and display for the holidays. Larkins Farm is all about KeepingItReal with their selection of Christmas trees at two different locations in Essex.

A Day Out at the Hylands Estate Adventure Castle

Posted on November 9, 2021July 8, 2024 by Dann Sullivan

In the hunt for more places to go out and visit, we found that we actually live quite close to the Hylands Estate Adventure Castle, which is a completely free, quite massive park for kids to play and explore. We wanted to make it more of a day out, so we actually packed a lunch to eat there – though there is a little cafe which is perfect for getting lunches or hot drinks if you need it.

A Day Out at Belvoir Castle

Posted on November 3, 2021January 30, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann is a massive fan of historical sites and of castles, so when we went out to the Engine Yard, to explore their new buildings shops and area, we then hopped over to Belvoir Castle – just across the road – to have a look at the grounds and inside. This castle was up a hill – a little walk from the car park, so we made our way there after lunch, excited to take a look at the grounds and then inside castle. What we didn’t realize was just how large the grounds themselves are.
