My eldest, Kai, saw the colourful posters around town and started asking about visiting the circus. Circus Fantasia, a traveling circus on it’s 8th year of show, was in our area for the week, with their new 2020 program. Jupiter had never been to a circus before, and when I had gone as a child, it was much too loud for my ears and I had a terrible time. Despite this, as Kai wanted to go, we set out to grab tickets up and spend the evening at Circus Fantasia.
[Ad- gifted experience] Rock climbing is something that, as a kid, I use to do regularly through school. My school had a rock wall and part of Gym Class required you to go on the wall every few months. As an adult, I must say, that I have not really gone out climbing in a long time. Dann and I, enticed in by bright colors and the want for a fun evening, went to Clip n’ Climb Chelsea to see how the adult, after work hours slots would be.
The children seem to really enjoy themed adventure golf and Mr. Mulligan’s has an indoor golf course, something we’ve never been out too. Seeing that the weather is cold and somewhat rainy, an indoor course is just what we were looking for! We ended up opting for the one in Stevenage which has a giant submarine on the top of the building, which is really cool to see from the outside.
Once inside, we had the option of one of two courses; an easier, under the sea course or a more challenging jungle themed course. As Robin is three and most of the time can be found kicking the ball with her feet or just dropping it into the end hole after giving up, we decided to go into the under the sea area. This was themed with mermaids, octopuses, sea creatures and had a boat of it’s own. The course itself was quite compact, which is the main downside of being indoors. Many of the holes were right on top of each other, which meant that it was hard to find a place to stand while someone was taking their turn or while waiting.

Fruit picking is something both Jupiter and I did as a kid – myself picking fruits near where I lived and Jupiter picking fruits both at orchards and in nearby woods. As summertime came, we wanted to take the family out berry picking both in the wild and at an orchard, so we went along to Cammas Hall! Cammas Hall has a lot to offer, from raspberry and blackberries to strawberries and sunflowers. We pre-booked our time slot, which does cost a deposit fee, but that fee goes towards the fruit we picked and it was easy to pick far more than the deposit price.
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.
