[Ad- gifted experience] The other day, Dann and I went back to Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch to watch the musical The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole. When Dann was younger, he actually read the book this play was based on, however I had not experienced this book, and was interested in what we would see.

We go out to a lot of inflatable and bouncing events. Robin specifically loves inflatables, and could spend her entire day bouncing on them. So, when we heard about Ellis Leisure‘s Inflatable Fun Days, we were all ready to spend a day in the sun, bouncing around. These fun days happen at various locations all over Essex. You can pay free per person to get a wristband, which allows you either a half day or full day of bouncing.

When the weather is nice, we go out and explore mini-golf places! We’ve been to several in the area; from dinosaurs to pirates, we’ve been to everything nearby. When the half term came up, the kids wanted to go to a new mini-golf place, despite the cold weather. As we didn’t want to get stuck in the rain, we looked for local places that were indoor, and came across BCK YRD GOLF, which wasn’t too far away! BCK YRD GOLF aims itself at teenagers / young adults, but does have a family pass for children, so we figured, why not!
When looking for some fun things to do with the kids, we found that Horrible Histories was doing another live event. As Kai really loves Horrible Histories, and often we are looking for events he will enjoy, we had to book up tickets and see what it was like. The Horrible Histories Live Onboard! Terrible Thames was a really wonderful tour all up and down the Thames river in London.

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.
