[Ad- gifted experience] When it comes to nice weather, we are always looking for new activities to do out in the sun! We have been to Aqua Splash parks before, but had not taken the short drive to Lee Valley White Water Centre to try out their Water Wipeout! This course looked a little smaller than the ones we have previously been out too, but with that in mind, everyone said it was their absolute favorite.

We absolutely love to see new events and activities pop up near our house. The Wild Retreat, previously CRE8 where we glamped a few years back, is now under new management and is looking to build a more community vibe, with tons of fun activities out in nature. The Wild Retreat has starting running a monthly movie night, with their first movie being a fantastic choice; Inside Out. Though we have seen Inside Out before, it’s one of those movies we all very much enjoyed and wanted to see in a new environment.

During the Easter Break, we wanted to get along to some new activities. Everywhere was having some sort of Easter special event, so we sort of looked at what would be most interesting and new for our family. That’s when we found Celtic Harmony Camp, which aims to engage children in learning about pre-history. As we have some teenagers, we felt that a half day at Celtic Harmony Camp was best for us, though they do have timed activities going on throughout the day.

Most years, for Amelia’s birthday, she asks to go to a pottery place. She quite enjoys painting pottery that gets glazed and fired in a kelm, calling them “proper pottery”. So, when her birthday came around this year, we weren’t surprised that she wanted to go to a new pottery place! Recommended by a friend, we headed over to The Little Arts Workshop, which wasn’t very far from us at all.

A friend of mine said I should go to The Toaster and try their hashbrown nachos when I spoke about making weird nacho food for Kai. I had not heard of the place and though I am not a big brunch or breakfast fan, while Kai and Robin were at school (and Amelia still on holiday from her school), we wanted to go out somewhere new. The Toaster came to mind, so we all headed out to see what the food was going to be like. To our surprise, it was probably the best brunch I am ever going to have in my life.
