A Day Out at the Pusheen x Artbox Cafe & Boutique

Posted on February 10, 2020January 30, 2025 by Jupiter

I kept seeing the Artbox Cafe on Instagram – a cafe that serves different desserts, with a different character featured at the cafe for a limited amount of time. When it comes to holidays, the cafe also changes, having special Halloween items and Winter themed desserts. The cafe is split into two floors, the bottom floor is where you can get takeaway ice creams or drinks, as well as purchase a bunch of cute, themed items. As the theme was Pusheen, the items in the bottom floor was all Pusheen; notebooks, books, mugs, jewellery, sushi sets, tumblers, squishes – something for everyone. Upstairs, you can find a small, sit down dining experience where you can order from a slightly larger menu. Dann, Claire (who wrote her own post on this) and I went to the Pusheen x Artbox Cafe in the last week that Pusheen was there!

A Day Out at Lightopia 2020

Posted on January 29, 2020November 14, 2024 by Jupiter and Dann

We are big fans of light based art. Dann loves walking around, Jupiter loves looking at art, so Lightopia seemed like a great event to attend, especially after the amount of fun we had at Chihuly exhibition and the Ashford Illuminations. Lightopia takes place each year at the Chiswick House in London, as well as several other locations around England. This year, this is running from January 22nd until March 1st, giving everyone plenty of time to stop by!

We went to Lightopia with Claire (who wrote up her own review) and Staurt as a double date. We all purchased tickets a while back, and they were a bit strange to purchase. The tickets themselves have the same opening time, but you’ll end up needing to pick a preferred arrival time, which doesn’t actually get placed on your ticket. We didn’t get the email stating our preferred time, so we went at opening, which was listed on our ticket. We were still let in and nobody pointed out that we were an hour early. Anyway, onto the exhibition.

Before you even make it to ticket check, you’ll walk down a large path of flowers and numbers, making your way closer and closer to the exhibition. Once we got through tickets, we started down the path. Like the Chihuly exhibitions, lights dotted the path moving you from each major point to another. There was a lot to see, but surprisingly, there were also a lot of interactive areas designed for children and adults alike. Everything also had music, with quite a few exhibitions that actually were timed to the music that was playing. The flowers, butterflies, humans, all looked like they were made of wire and tissue paper, but clearly it was made of fabric which had lights under it. A few exhibitions stood out above the others.

A Day Out at Pirate Cove Adventure Golf

Posted on January 22, 2020July 8, 2024 by Dann Sullivan

After our first trip to Jurassic Falls Adventure Golf, the children have been itching to see the other themed golf parks around the area. The next one we took on was Pirate Cove. Pirate Cover Adventure Golf has a theme of, you guessed it, pirates and is dotted around with pirate facts and information. Jupiter really loves pirates, golf, and new golf courses, so we went along on a slightly soggy day to enjoy a bit of outdoor time before winter really hit.

Pirate Cover Adventure Golf was different from the previous golf experiences; first off, it had two different courses in it’s area. One, called Smugglers, was much more challenging while Pirate was an easier course. We went along the Pirate course, dipping into Smugglers when we saw a particularly cool looking hole that we couldn’t help but jump too. As we went towards the end of October, the place didn’t have many people there, and this was pretty easy to do (not to mention fun).

A Day Out at the Guggenheim Museum

Posted on January 13, 2020February 5, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Recently, I went to Bilbao, Spain and got to check out the lovely Guggenheim Museum. This three floor museum has a bunch of different exhibitions, showcases, interactive areas and more for you to explore and enjoy. Though the cafe was completely booked, myself and my friend went in to take a look at all of the art this museum had to offer! Many of the areas were no photo zones, so the only images I have here are ones that were allowed to be taken within the museum – mainly on a few of the exhibitions on the bottom floor. I am only going to talk about some of the exhibitions, as there is really a lot to see – this museum is well worth a day trip!

A Day Out in London Bridge

Posted on January 3, 2020July 8, 2024 by Jupiter and Dann

*AD /Sponsored– see footnote

I’ve lived in London for a few years, but haven’t actually ever gone to a specific area to spend time and explore! Dann and I went out to the London Bridge area, with a budget in our pockets, looking to do whatever we stumbled upon. It was a long day out, and we ended up doing a mix of tourism and finding smaller gems that are within the area. If you want to do a day out in the London Bridge area, but unlike us, don’t live nearby, there are loads of hotels near the Shard to pick from.
