Dinner at the Hare Pub

Dann and I were out in the evening playing Pokemon Go and wanted to go out for dinner afterwards instead of getting groceries and making something! We decided to stop at The Hare Pub, which is a part of the McMullen pub chain. They run events like a weekly pub quiz and poker night, bringing some extra excitement into the venue. They also have a separate billiards area, lots of outdoor seating, and indoor dinning. We opted to eat inside as it was getting a little dark and late outside for us. When we went, they had both their standard menu and a smaller selection of Chef Recommendations as well, which worked as specials.

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.
