[Ad- gifted experience] Ever since seeing Circus Fantasia, Robin and I have been keeping our eyes peeled for more circuses to visit. There is just something about all of these different performances, ones that you can not take your eyes off of, in quick succession. It feels magical. Dann always describes it like boss fights in JRPGs – intense, with loud music, drawing in all of your attention and captivating you. Over quickly, when you just want to see more. When we were invited to Paulos Circus, we were all very excited to get along! This circus had acts we had never seen before, which is already pretty exciting! Though Circus Paulos is running at a smaller capacity, due to COVID, it is still packed with amazing performances and a lot of fun.

Dann has lived in Harlow all of his life but hasn’t actually visited the Harlow Museum and Walled Garden before – something which I found to be almost unbelievable! As the weather took a good turn, we wanted to take some time to check out the Walled Garden, which is the current bit of the museum that is open, with the indoor museum currently closed due to lockdown measures. When we arrived, we were actually given a little picture scavenger hunt, which was quite cute! The first picture was within the museum, but the rest were all outdoors.

There were so many lovely Easter Trails this year, and we tried to go to as many as we could! One of the shorter trails were at Bourne Mill – a small Elizabethan mill from the 19th century. This building is right near a beautiful pond, full of birds and wildlife. At the moment, the mill itself isn’t currently open to the public, but you can stick your head in and watch it turn with the water, moving as you walk around the grounds. There is plenty for a good short day out, and for Easter, they put on a pretty fun trail! Even without the trail, Bourn Mill is one of our favorite National Trust sites in Essex.
