Meeting Santa at Woolwich Works Candy Grotto

Posted on December 2, 2025December 2, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] When it comes to Christmas magic, one of the things that most people do is visit Santa! We have seen Santa at Winter Wonderland, Legoland and even at a little light walk display. but we haven’t really gone to a place that’s only for meeting Santa. Woolwich Works is hosting a bunch of different Christmas themed activities, from a small Christmas market outside the venue on the weekends, to Christmas performances, and of course there is an option to meet Santa himself.

Christmas Bouquet Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Every month, Amelia and I go to our cupcake decorating class with Sweet Designs by Jennie to spend some one on one time together and make some sweet treats! Normally, we take classes that are both fondant and piping, but this time, we went to one that was JUST piping. The Christmas Bouquet Cupcake Class is a little different from the standard class of six cupcakes, having some arts and crafts to do at the start and then lots of decorating to be done.

Taking a Canal Tour with Rederij Plas

When in the centre of Amsterdam, there are a whole line of different canal tours that you can choose from. Some have themes (primarily alcohol), some do not have any prices listed and you need to use a QR code, and others are just set up ready to take you out on the water. We specifically picked an un-themed tour that had a price listed, called Rederij Plas, which felt like one of the older canal tours on this side of the water.

Jack and the Beanstalk at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

Posted on November 24, 2025November 23, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] It’s Christmas time, and one of the very traditional things to do in England is go to a Panto. They are such a magical experience, so I was very excited to be invited back to the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, where I saw my first Panto, this time for Jack and the Beanstalk. Obviously, Jack and the Beanstalk is a classic fairy tale, with a story everyone knows and loves. At the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, before the play, we actually checked out their exhibition of drawings for the Dame’s dress, which included an entry from Amelia! She had entered and it was good enough to be presented on the showcase, which is always such a honor.

Geeky Date Night at The Dice Box King’s Lynn

Posted on November 21, 2025November 20, 2025 by Jupiter

While I was in King’s Lynn for a work event, Dann and I decided to check out the local area. We were recommended The Dice Box, which had recently opened in the area, and was actually running some sort of event night. We have our local Geek Retreat and have been to similar board game themed places like the Loading Bar in London, so wanted to check this out! The Dice Box is a franchise, like Geek Retreat, so there is a system to it and similar ones across the country have the same vibes.
