Last week we visited The Lion pub and restaurant in the quaint and historic village of Farningham in Kent. It has recently been refurbished and we were invited to try it out. We visited on a Thursday evening, taking our 2 year old daughter with us.

Food banks need our help over the summer holidays

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.
Misery in Margate and fun in the sun
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.
PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups preview at Showcase Cinema de Lux
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!
Easter Afternoon Tea at Wyevale Garden Centre
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.
