Having previously enjoyed an escape room at the Shuffle House in Tunbridge Wells, the Besties, kindly bought the hubby a voucher for his birthday to enjoy a different game at the same venue. We decided to wait until the Spring, so that we could do the escape room, enjoy a game of shuffleboard at the…
You cant beat a good afternoon or cream tea. They are always a treat and believe me I have had a few. 🧁🫖 It’s a lovely way to spend an afternoon, catching up with family and friends, enjoying the quaint British tradition. But one thing around this seemingly inoffensive tiered platter of food, almost always…
And in the blink of an eye, there we were approaching 45 years of marital bliss 🤔. We don’t usually make too much fuss of our anniversaries and in all those years, we’ve only really celebrated the two previous “significant” ones. For our Silver we hosted a party for family and friends, at a…
When you’re clocking up the birthday years 😳, you have to make the most of each and every one. 🥂. I’m not fussed about gifts, but it’s nice to spend time with family and friends across a birthday week. With that in mind I caught up with girlfriends the weekend before. We had a…
Like most people, we enjoy having things in the diary to look forward to. Sometimes, though we book things so far in advance, we almost forget that it’s upcoming and then it’s a mad scramble to find the tickets or the confirmation email 😬. We had such an outing back in September, as way…

The big kid in me has wanted to see Matilda the Musical, for a few years, but we had never got round to it. I was very happy when the hubby gifted me tickets for my birthday back in February 🎁 and one of our Granddaughters had also bought a ticket to join us. …
For my 50th birthday I was treated to tickets to the dizzying heights of the viewing platforms at the Shard. An absolutely amazing experience, looking out over the City and down to the tiny toy like trains whizzing in and out of London Bridge station. Even my height fearing Hubby “enjoyed” the experience and on…
After the hustle and bustle of the Fat Tuesday weekend, we turned our attention to a bit of culture, making our way to the local college for an evening of Italian inspired food and opera. The college, as always, decorated the restaurant beautifully. Our large round table was perfect to enable us to catch…
Not to be outdone by the Bestie 🤣, I too had a week of birthday celebrations. Being just seven days later, we often celebrate together (saves the hubby’s forking out twice 🥴), however as this was a special birthday for her, we went solo this year. With Valentine’s Day in between and with 43…
