Novo Lounge Quiz Night – Great Evening Activity

Some evenings, having a local event to head over to makes a lot of sense for us. We are a couple that enjoys going out, so we have headed to Novo Lounge for their Quiz Night a few times now! Previously, we did check out a bunch of the tapas at Novo Lounge, but after attending like three quiz nights, decided it was time to right them up! At our local Novo Lounge in Harlow, our quiz master is a fantastic guy who is always full of energy. The entry price is £3 cash, which goes to a charity, and the quiz itself is set by Redtooth, and presented by Novo Lounge themselves.

Touring Redchurch Brewery in Harlow

Dann and I have been looking to do more local events in our town and came across the Redchurch Brewery, which offer monthly beer tasting and tours! Dann was very excited to try out new beers and had no idea that they did tours, so we eagerly waited for the date to come up. The Redchurch Brewery is a small local, brewery that brews a bunch of beers in massive vats. We got the chance to sample five different beers, all of which were made there.

The afternoon at Redchurch Brewery started off with a beer of course – their premium in-house beer. Everybody was given a half-pint of the ‘Redchurch premium lager’ while we were talked through the different parts of the tour. The tour kicked off with an explaination of the brewing process and what goes into making different beers and alcoholic drinks, as well as a history of the brewery itself and how it has changed owners over the years. We all got the chance to smell a selection of different hops and ingredients, and there was some really interesting charts that showed how different ingredients create different types of beer.

Hello Autumn Cupcake Class with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Every month, Amelia and I do a little mother-daughter bonding at a cupcake class! This time,. Sweet Designs by Jennie had a new design for us to all try out. We actually have been going for roughly a year now, which is absolutely wild, and she is still coming up with new classes for us to do. This specific set of six cupcakes were actually a custom order from last year, that someone asked for, and Jennie felt it would make a good class design! We’ve been doing bouquets and wreath classes previously, so having just six to do was a shorter class then we’ve had as of late.
