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.

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.

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!

There has been a boom of stuff to do in our local town, and as people who enjoy participating in local activities, we have been on the hunt! When Brick Festival came to town, we weren’t really sure what to expect. We ended up booking tickets, including the one that gave you a little toy just to see what it is. Brick Festival is touring all over the United Kingdom, so there might be one local to you if you check out their website.
