Wahaca – Mexican Street Food | Restaurant Review

Posted on August 18, 2021November 14, 2024 by Dann Sullivan

For my birthday last year, I wanted to go out to one of my favourite restaurants; Wahaca. It’s been some time since I’ve been, due to the whole lockdown situation and the lack of events in London, so it felt like a great time to journey into the city and try some tacos and street food with my family. My kids have actually never been to Wahaca, so it was very lovely to get to show them a restaurant that I have enjoyed. When Jupiter and I go to Wahaca, we normally order a bunch of small items from their menu and split them, so that’s what we did here.

A Day Out at the Museum of Brands

Posted on July 29, 2021July 8, 2024 by Jupiter

I feel that as an America, I have more of a connection to brands than most British people. I am brand loyal – once I like I brand I stick with it, no matter what. It’s just ingrained in my blood. When I saw the Museum of Brands in our National Trust membership book, I really wanted to go along! So when Dann surprised me with tickets to go, I was hyped! It’s worth mentioning that as apart of the National Trust, you get a discount on the price of the tickets – not free entry like several other places. But, the tickets are quite cheap anyway and well worth it.

Afternoon Tea with Cats at Whiskers & Cream Cat Cafe

Posted on June 17, 2021July 8, 2024 by Dann Sullivan

It’s no secret that everyone in this home really loves cats and kittens! Pancake, our own cat, is quite spoiled with toys, attention, and treats. We decided to go out one day to the Whiskers & Cream cat cafe to hang out with some new cats while eating treats of our own. When booking to visit the cat cafe, you can either pay an admissions fee (which comes with a free drink) or book for afternoon tea, where there are a bunch of different menus for food options from vegan to children’s menus!

We decided to go for lunch, picking the normal afternoon tea for us adults and the children’s afternoon tea for the children, but let’s talk about the cats. There are 9 cats in Whiskers & Cream – and you are told about each of them. All of these cats have different personalities and like different toys. After being introduced to everyone (and having our food served) it was up to us if we wanted to snack or go play. The kids were able to talk to the staff to find out different cat’s favourite toys, before trying to play with them! Many of the cats were playful, Jasper being the biggest, loudest, and most excited cat.

Walking an Owl with Coda Falconry

Posted on October 3, 2020July 8, 2024 by Jupiter

About a year ago, it was Dann’s birthday! Unsure what to get someone who never knows what they want for their birthday, I figured getting an experience was the best option. Dann loves owls and always mentioned a time when his brother got to go off and do a owl experience with his grandparents and how he wanted to do similar. So, after a bit of googling, I ended up booking him a ticket for the Owl Encounter at Coda Falconry – along with a spectator ticket, in case he wanted to bring a friend.

I ended up being that friend! Currently, Coda Falconry isn’t properly open due to COVID, but they still are doing these experiences, as they are with small groups of people. Ours was an own walk, where Dann got to hold the owl, cast him off, and walk around. I got to follow and pet the owl at the end, opting to take pictures and ask questions along the way. Our owl was named Dusk – a beautiful creature with a twin sister who we also got to meet!

A Day Out at Clip n’ Climb Chelsea

Posted on September 16, 2020August 27, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Rock climbing is something that, as a kid, I use to do regularly through school. My school had a rock wall and part of Gym Class required you to go on the wall every few months. As an adult, I must say, that I have not really gone out climbing in a long time. Dann and I, enticed in by bright colors and the want for a fun evening, went to Clip n’ Climb Chelsea to see how the adult, after work hours slots would be.
