Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Twitter party alert this Wednesday 31st March 2021! You are all invited to the Big Little Tent Festival Twitter Party, which will be this Wednesday from 7 to 8 pm! So remember to save the date and make yourself available! I will be taking part in this Twitter party along with other bloggers to learn more about the Big Little Tent Festival and the joy of camping! Please follow our host @biglittletent on Twitter.
It is the camping season but have you got everything you need? If you have followed our blog recently, you may have read that we did a garden family sleepover in our new house. It is a good experience to start our children on as they have not done camping before. Camping from home is a luxury to have as we can take advantage of the comfort of home facilities!
If this is your first time camping or you are thinking of trying camping with your children, why not start from home. Get yourself and your children use to sleeping in a sleeping bag and building your tents before moving on to cooking your own food!
Did you know that a quarter of UK adults are classed as physically inactive and only a third of children in Britain spend more than an hour a day outdoors? This is why, in 2016, Explorers Connect founder Belinda Kirk started the Wild Night Out. Millets have gotten behind it and once a year, they encourage people of all ages to get outside and enjoy the outdoors for the evening. This year’s Wild Night Out fell on the 29th June 2019. Did you join in too?
Stargazing Pods is Alton Towers Resort’s brand new accommodation that had just opened to the public on the 12th April 2019! These unique and cosy pods are set around a picturesque village where guests can embrace the outdoors and use the telescopes to look at the night sky with easy access to the theme park.
Chessington World of Adventures Resort’s Explorer Glamping is opening to the public on the 27th May 2016 and includes 35 permanent tents! There are 31 round ‘Glamping’ tents comprising of one double bed and two singles which are able to sleep four. There are also four premium ‘Amboseli Tents’ with a double bed, and separate second sleeping area with three single beds and additional living space.
Two weeks ago, we received the Certainly Wood S’Mores kit which included a fire starter kit with kiln dried logs; kiln dried kindling; Flamers Natural Firelighters; CW matches plus a package of digestives; marshmallows; chocolate; wooden sticks; a s’mores recipe and a graphic showing you how to make this delicious BBQ treat in a fire pit or chimenea.
I’m so glad that Spring has finally arrived and now it’s time to get out to enjoy some outdoor activities. We have not tried glamping before but it is definitely something I would need to try to tick off my top 100 bucket list.
Now that glamping has really taken off and is especially appealing to families looking for a cost-effective holiday option. Worcestershire-based OLPro spotted a gap in the market and has developed a coordinated glamping range for families who want stylish products coupled with a high technical spec.
