A Day Out at Mountfichet Castle

The summer holiday is in full swing, we all wanted to see a big castle! I am a big fan of history and I really love sharing my passions with my children. Kai and I had actually gone to Mountfichet Castle when he was younger and Amelia had spent weeks talking about how she wanted to go at the time, so this felt like a great time to take everyone. Mountfichet Castle has a lot going on – there is the castle and all of the animals around it, then there is a toy museum on the edge of the property, as well as a dinosaur area and a haunted house walk through the toy museum – it’s just a lot.

Throwing the Best Party with Moonpig

[Ad- gifted experience] Moonpig ran a virtual event earlier this month that was all around throwing the best birthday party possible – a skill that everyone should need to have at one point in their lives, at least. This event showcased Moonpig’s mobile app for ordering gifts, cards, balloons, and flowers as well as making the best cocktails and flower arranging the flowers we then got. This masterclass of three different aspects of throwing a party made for a fun and interesting virtual event that showcased a lot!

Mermaid Lessons with South Coast Mermaids

[Ad- gifted experience] I love the water! When I was a child, I would spend every moment I could in my nanny’s pool, swimming until the sun went down. This year, if you’ve been checking out my Instagram, you’ll know I’ve been at the beach nearly every week. I am basically a mermaid stuck in a human body, with silly legs that stop me from having fins. When I found out that South Coast Mermaids do lovely mermaid lessons – and who doesn’t want to be a mermaid – so I was very excited to go! South Coast Mermaids do adult and children swimming lessons, as well as parties. This lesson is post COVID, so we were social distancing mermaids, something that our instructor, Anna, kept in mind during the entire lesson. I attended one at the Lido Arundel, which is a lovely setting with a castle peaking over the treeline!

A Day Out at Hitchin Lavender Field

Now that the weather is great and the flowers are blooming, we took a trip to the Hitchin Lavender Field! Neither of us have ever been to a lavender field before, but we wanted to walk in the sea of purple fields and hang out together. It seemed like a great day to spend a lazy afternoon, so we headed off to explore and enjoy the nice sunny weather! We did book ahead, making sure we had tickets and could go on in, and then appeared for our time slot.

A Day Out at Gudetama the Lazy Egg x Artbox Cafe & Boutique

Earlier in the year, I went to the Pusheen x Artbox Cafe & Boutique and had a lovely time! There is nothing I love more than themed places and themed food. When Artbox announced the next theme was Gudetama the Lazy Egg, I was excited to get back down to Brighton and check it out! I actually went twice before writing this post as Dann surprised me with a weekend out in Brighton for my birthday and then I went along with Dann, Claire, and a few friends. Gudetama the Lazy Egg is a tired, exhausted, lazy egg that has a round bottom! He’s a funny character and his arrival came a quite interesting menu of savory food too!
