Dann and I both very much love a light festival. We go to as many as possible throughout the year, so of course we walked around Battersea to see the Battersea Light Festival again this year. They had a lot going on this year, with the Light Festival taking place during the February half-term, along with different free activities that families can take part in during the day, including stain glass making, painting and so much more. We just went for the light festival, but saw the signs for the other activities which did look like fun!

I’ve been seeing the Paradox Museum advertised for quite some time, but wasn’t sure if it was actually worth all of the hype. Looking to do something completely new at the weekend, we finally decided to go. The Paradox Museum has several locations, but we went off to the London branch, which is relatively easy to get too. The Paradox Museum is full of different optical illusions, which have various points on where you could stand to perfectly see the illusion. When we arrived, we dropped our coats into the free coat room, then went on our adventure.

Ever since Robin and I went on the Grinchmas Tour Bus last year, Amelia has been asking after going on one as well. The time finally came, the stars aligned with Robin and Amelia having the same day off of school while Kai was back at school, making it the perfect time to go on a tour of London with some snacks. We booked up an Afternoon Tea on Brigit’s Bakery Bus Tour, which is a tour of London along with some classic afternoon tea food.

For Dann’s Birthday, he wanted to play a specific type of arcade machine. Bishi Bashi machines were something we’ve played a few times in our lives, at places that are now closed down in London. In search of a fun arcade machine, and a lovely day out that everyone would enjoy, we ended up at Freeplay City, a pay to enter arcade with tons of rhythm-based games that can keep kids and adults engaged.

[Ad- gifted experience] Now, I have been to a number of pantos over the last two years, but I have not actually been to a panto with our children! I realized this on the way to Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs, though I am not sure how we’ve missed them previously! Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs are a classic, and this time we saw the panto at Fairfield Halls Theatre, which was a new theatre for our household.
