I was on my way home from the shop yesterday lunchtime when something on the radio caught my attention. They were talking about how it’s going to be a struggle for food banks in Kent over the summer holidays. Sadly, I imagine this will also be the case elsewhere in the UK. I’ve written about child poverty before and how it can have an impact on children’s health. As I’ve said before, I can’t believe that child poverty still exists in our country.
Do you ever have days where you feel like everything is conspiring against you, despite your best efforts? Of course, we all do. Although, I actually have a sneaky suspicion that I have more than the average person. On Saturday, the hottest day of the year so far, I was desperate to have a lovely day on the beach at Westgate with my little family. However, the day didn’t go entirely to plan.
Gifted¦ On Saturday, Autumn and my husband went to Showcase Cinema de Lux Bluewater for the preview of PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups. It was her first time going to the cinema and she was very excited. PAW Patrol is actually her favourite programme at the moment. Naturally, she was keen to take along her Skye toy to watch the movie from the plush reclining seats and meet the pups!
Gifted¦ On Thursday, some of my family and I went for Easter afternoon tea at Elm Court, a Wyevale Garden Centre based in Gillingham, Kent. Before we went, I took a good look at the menu (who doesn’t?) The additions of hot cross buns and prosecco made this afternoon tea extra special for this time of year. Everything on the menu sounded brilliant, so I was just hoping it would live up to my expectations.
Sponsored Post During half term, there are always lots of activities on for children. This past week hasn’t been an exception, and yesterday we went to participate in some pond dipping at Tyland Barn in Sandling, near Aylesford. We then rounded off the afternoon nicely with a fun visit to the toy shop, some rabbits and the Nando’s at nearby South Aylesford Retail Park!
