Lunch at CoHo Harlow

We drive by CoHo in Harlow often. It looks very similar in name and font to a French food chain, so we hadn’t taken the time to stop there, but this time we took the chance. On Saturday, it’s required that you pre-book, as they are super busy, so we went first thing on Sunday for lunch before heading out on a trip out of the country. The place is pretty simple and elegant in decoration – there are white tablecloths, menus clearly printed for that specific day, the staff is really attentive. It’s a very expensive feeling place to eat. CoHo is right on the river, and we even saw some swans swimming there before we entered.

Fairy Cupcake Course with Sweet Designs by Jennie

Every month, Amelia and I have some mother-daughter time taking a cupcake course. We’ve been doing this for quite some time, and as Jennie never runs out of ideas and we always have a fantastic time, we were back once again for one of the newer designs; Fairy Cupcakes. This class was warned to be a bit longer than the previous ones we have attended, due to all the intricate little designs we were going to hand craft for these packed cupcakes. Sweet Designs by Jennie is always running these cupcake courses, with a large number of different designs, both seasonal and non-seasonal.

Cammas Hall Strawberry Picking!

We often go to Cammas Hall to check out their seasonal fruit, different trails, and fun activities! After a bit of a rainy early morning, we headed off to Cammas Hall for their Strawberry picking. There were tons of strawberries this year, which might be because we went earlier in the season or it might be because we just went earlier in the day. There was also not really any others picking right after the rain, which is always a fun experience as we like to dart between the rows and really explore finding the best strawberries.

Harlow Chinese School – Spring and Summer Rolls

The Harlow Chinese School does a cooking club every few months as a fundraiser for the school itself. It’s always a very community feeling thing, where Sun Yung teaches us all about a bit of food from Chinese culture, and we enjoy eating it and making it. This class is always very family friendly and enjoyable, without having to do too much cooking, and with a big focus on community and eating! This time, the course was very quick in time, as the summer rolls were the only thing that really needed cooking. They actually brought out some pre-made spring rolls to snack on, while we waited for ours to cook.

Enjoying the Community Spirit at Potter Street Fete 2025

Last year, Dann and I started helping out with the Harlow Chinese School. This year, when the opportunity came up to join the committee for the Potter Street Fete 2025, we both really wanted to help out. Community is something that has always been important to me, and Potter Street is full of community! This little fete has been running for 5 years this year, so it was a big one to help out with. Dann and I started coming to the committee meetings about 6 months ago, helping plan out things like stalls, Dann made a website, and I created the programme!
