Lunch on the Bustronome Voyage Gourmand in London

Lunch on the Bustronome Voyage Gourmand in London

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] I had no idea that you could eat food while traveling on a bus in London, until Robin and I attended the Grinchmas afternoon tea bus last year. It turns out, there are a ton of these sort of tour a bus around London while having a full experience. The Bustronome experience takes you all around iconic landmarks in London, while serving very fancy looking French food! There is a four course lunch option as well as a six course dinner option, depending on what time of day you end up going.

A Day Out at Silence at the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

A Day Out at Silence at the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I went along to see Silence at the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch which is a powerful and emotional performance that features a collection of stories around the 1947 partition of India into West Pakistan and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). These stories contain a lot of violence and trauma, which is why they often go untold, and these stories, coupled with not being taught in schools in Britain, have left a lot of this history to fade away. Silence has been adapted from Kavita Puri’s book Partition Voices: Untold British Stories.

A Day Out at London Zoo

A Day Out at London Zoo

Over the Easter Break, we wanted to go on as many adventures as possible! One of the things our children have asked to do is see more animals this year, and as we live so close to London, Dann and I felt it was the perfect time to go to the London Zoo! The London Zoo had a giant Easter Egg trail on, spread around primarily the main area of the zoo (by the shops) but also had just so much to explore.

A Day Out at Borough Market

A Day Out at Borough Market

Posted on by Jupiter

Dann and I love going to food markets, and one of our favorites is Borough Market! Though we do not get there often enough, when we go, we always have a fantastic time. Borough Market has a bunch of street food stands, as well as stands that sell a number of artisanal products. We’ve previously gone there to purchase cheese, smoked meats, and chutneys for fantastic charcuterie boards! It’s also just a fun location to explore, though on the day we went, it was very busy. Our goal was to get a few dishes to eat for a late lunch / early dinner.

Dinner at Singer Tavern

Dinner at Singer Tavern

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Singer Tavern is a quant, well lit, airy bar that is located on Old Street. Dann and I went to have dinner at Singer Tavern as apart of a work event with Dann’s company. It was really lovely to be invited along. We selected all of our choices before attending, and then they brought out our food in courses. The staff themselves were very kind and accommodating – when one of the dishes came out quite overcooked, they quickly replaced it!
