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.

Though Kai and Amelia are far too old for soft play, Robin is still just in the age where she is interested and wants to play. So, on one of the days when just she was off school, Robin and I went to Wowland Soft Play to see what it was all about! This location just opened that month, so we didn’t know much about it or what to expect. Robin very much loves going to new places, so was excited to take a look. We booked online, which was pretty simple, giving us an hour slot. There is a pop-up, which is worth noting, that you cannot escape from and need to read, each time you go to the website. This was slightly annoying, but I do understand why they do it as it contains information needed about your booking.
