Bird Experience at Coda Falconry in Hobbledown Heath

[Ad- gifted experience] We have actually attended Coda Falconry‘s previous location, for an owl walk, during lockdown – but they have since moved to Hobledown Heath, a sort of outdoor adventure park that we also went to, before they moved there! Now that Coda Falconry is on the premises, they put on a bunch of free to view bird shows and have various, bookable experiences (including the owl walk), that also give you access to the rest of Hobbledown Heath too! We got the chance to do a 1-hour bird experience with Coda Falconry, which allowed our family of five to hang out with three different birds, casting them off and having them fly to us.

Sherlock Holmes and the Hunt for Moriarty at The Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

[Ad- gifted experience] Sherlock Holmes is an iconic, household name, and as such there is a lot to live up to! We went to see Sherlock Holmes and the Hunt for Moriarty at the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch. This performance had a lot of characters played by medium sized cast, with many switching characters throughout the show. Watson was both the character and the narrator, needing to switch seamlessly between the role. There were a bunch of costumes used to subtly change the characters as well, so that side characters were all different. These costume changes were quick, between moments, which was very impressive!

Hello Autumn Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Every month, Amelia and I do a little mother-daughter bonding at a cupcake class! This time,. Sweet Designs by Jennie had a new design for us to all try out. We actually have been going for roughly a year now, which is absolutely wild, and she is still coming up with new classes for us to do. This specific set of six cupcakes were actually a custom order from last year, that someone asked for, and Jennie felt it would make a good class design! We’ve been doing bouquets and wreath classes previously, so having just six to do was a shorter class then we’ve had as of late.

Live Music at Hitchin Priory Summer Sessions

Dann and I have been going to more and more music festivals and food festivals that feature music in the last few years. One band that I have always wanted to see live is The Wombats, which are my current favorite. Dann is a big fan of Razorlight, so when the Hitchin Priory Summer Sessions listed a day with both Razorlight and The Wombats, there was no way we weren’t going to go. This three day long festival had different bands each day, but we went on the Saturday, which had the bands we were interested in. Dann and I invited our two friends, as a sort of double date, and headed off for the afternoon.

Jumping at Inflata City

Ever since Jump Giants have closed, Robin has been hoping for a new place that just vibes like that. One of the other parents ate school messaged me about Inflata City, which she had a fantastic time at, so we were excited to head there as well and see what it was like. Inflata City is a huge inflation place, with a lot of different areas to explore around. Kai and Amelia can with Dann, Robin and I, though Robin is at the end of the age group for this type of place. Kai and Amelia are into exploring, so we did have a lot of fun!
