A Day Out at Larkins Farm for Christmas Trees

Posted on December 4, 2021November 14, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Earlier, before all of the trees were ready, we got a chance to check out Larkins Farm and explore their Christmas Trees! Larkins Farm is a local Christmas tree farm, that has a variety of different Christmas trees waiting to be brought home for Christmas. These trees are grown naturally, with weeds all around them and free of pesticides, but have been cut down and placed into an empty field, so that people can explore them and pick out the ones they want. Larkins Farm is known for having natural and real trees – and as it is a family tradition to go out and pick out our Christmas tree, we were excited to select one!

A Day Out at Jump Giants Trampoline & Air Park

Posted on November 28, 2021July 8, 2024 by Jupiter

Ever since going out to Jump In, the children have been itching to explore more trampoline parks. There seem to be quite a few of them now that we’ve taken a look, but Jump Giants has something that other trampoline parks don’t have – an Air Park. This space is split up into two areas; the Trampoline Park and the Air Park, which require different socks, different tickets, and have different timers. There is a shared cafe area between the two, and you can book tickets for both, but we ended up going to each half on different days, to expand our adventure across two different weekends.

Wagamamas – Asian food inspired by Japan | Restaurant Review

Posted on November 17, 2021July 8, 2024 by Jupiter

You know when you are just craving ramen, and you just want to eat some right then and there. Normally, when Dann and I go to Wagamamas, we order a bunch of little bites and split them, as you might notice from most of the places we go, but this time we wanted to get some tasty, tasty ramen! We both got a couple of small items, different ramens and a dessert. Wagamamas is an interesting restaurant, as everything just comes when it’s ready, but the food is always lovely.

Christmas is coming up fast and many people are already getting ready for their Christmas decorations. One of the main decorations, the center of the entire show, is always a Christmas tree. We tend to go for real Christmas trees – there is something about going to a Christmas tree farm, taking a look at the forest of trees waiting for homes, and selecting the one that fits perfectly in your living room, to decorate and display for the holidays. Larkins Farm is all about KeepingItReal with their selection of Christmas trees at two different locations in Essex.

A Day Out at the Hylands Estate Adventure Castle

Posted on November 9, 2021July 8, 2024 by Dann Sullivan

In the hunt for more places to go out and visit, we found that we actually live quite close to the Hylands Estate Adventure Castle, which is a completely free, quite massive park for kids to play and explore. We wanted to make it more of a day out, so we actually packed a lunch to eat there – though there is a little cafe which is perfect for getting lunches or hot drinks if you need it.
