Spooky Frights at Halloween at Kew Gardens 2026

Posted on October 30, 2026October 31, 2026 by Jupiter

It’s nearly the end of October, but as we have all of the half term, we wanted to do another spooky trail. For our household, it’s super important to get out each day of the break, especially as all of us get a little wrapped into our phones and bored when inside all day. Kai had an evening out with his friends, so Amelia, Robin, Dann and I, along with Claire, went out to Halloween at Kew Gardens. We’ve previously been a few years back, but it had been quite some time!

Franz and Marie at Charing Cross Theatre

Posted on October 9, 2026October 6, 2026 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] I am known to go to a bunch of plays, but have never actually been to the Charing Cross Theatre. This is one of the smaller, London theatres, that packs a big punch in terms of stage presence despite being a smaller sized room. The seating is arranged well, the bar is well stocked, and it felt like a great place to view a stage. Myself and my friend Sophie went along to see Franz and Marie – an intense musical – at the Charing Cross Theatre.

Breakfast at My Old Dutch Pancake House

Posted on October 5, 2026October 5, 2026 by Jupiter

Now, I am not a huge thin pancake fan, as an American I tend to go for more fluffy ones. But, My Old Dutch Pancake House has these massive, crepe-like pancakes that can come with a ton of different toppings! When hanging out with a friend of mine in London, we decided to try it out. The inside of My Old Dutch Pancake House does look like someplace that would be very Instagramable, with fake flowers hanging from the ceiling and neon signs.

Lunch at Imm-Aroy (in their new location)

Posted on September 24, 2026September 24, 2026 by Jupiter

I have previously had mango sticky rice at Imm-Aroy when they were located in Chinatown, but now they’ve moved to a new spot where they have a sit-down menu! This was very excited, so when my friend was next in town, we decided to go over to Imm-Aroy and see if the food was good.

Thai Boat Noodle Soup

I got the Thai Boat Noodle Soup as starter and Gary got it as a main. This broth was bubbling away by the door and smelled absolutely stunning! It’s a beef broth, with meat balls, stewed beef, and noodles. We both picked vermicelli noodles, as they are our favorite. The broth was slightly sweet, very rich, and there were plenty of toppings you could add on. I added a dash of chili flakes to mine! The beef was pull a part tender and the meatballs were dense, like you get with Thai meatballs.

Pickles at The Big Brine London

Posted on September 17, 2026September 12, 2026 by Jupiter

I am known for my love of food, food festivals, and pickles! So, when my friend Abbie had heard about The Big Brine in London, she invited Dann and I along! This is a pickle-focused food festival that took place in Hackney, where there were tons and tons of pickle related items. I am talking pickles, kimchi, pickle-like items, sauces, and a lot of things that go well with pickles, if that makes sense.
