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.
[Ad- gifted experience] We’ve seen Cinderella previously, but when it comes to pantos, it’s always a little bit different! Cinderella at Centenary Theatre Berkhamsted featured Rupaul’s Drag Race star Veronica Green – and as fans of the show, Dann and I were pretty excited to see her on stage along with the rest of the cast. Cinderella followed the classic fairy tale story, but of course, had lots of silly panto moments, more recent songs including one from Wicked, and a lot of fantastic dance numbers.

A few years back, we went to an inflatable aqua park. Since then, we’ve gone to smaller versions on holiday, but it’s something all three of our children have mentioned regularly. This summer, Kai has asked to do “more high energy things” so we started looking at inflatable aqua parks again. Everyone loves spending sunny days in the water and we hadn’t visited H2O Rampage Inflatable Aqua Park before, so we decided to book it up! You get an hour long slot, which is just enough to utterly exhaust any adults and teens alike, despite them all saying that an hour isn’t long!

Dann and I have been to Hatter’s Farm several times, particularly at Halloween, with our three children. It’s always decked up and very well presented, but now they offer a summertime Confetti Flower Field, filled with vibrant blooms that you can walk around and explore. As we both really enjoyed taking pictures of flowers and hanging out in flower fields, and have explored all of our local lavender fields, we booked up their Adult’s Only night to see this field at sunset.
