Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
For a long time, I always thought that Moon Pig is just a personalised card service but I’ve learnt that they do a whole lot more! They also sell flowers, wines, chocolates, t-shirts etc. What a great way to send a card with a gift to your family and friends.
Yesterday, I was invited to attend Argos’ Top Technology Predictions for Christmas hosted by Markettiersdc4. There are a selection of tablets and accessories for us to play with. It was great to play with them and understand their functionality. I am an iPad fan but I do use an Android phone.
This is the second year of Lichfield Food Festival. This year is bigger and better! The Co-operative was one of the biggest stalls here today. There are many food stalls dotted around the whole town and beer tasting in pubs too! There are a lot of food samples like biscuits, cheeses and cakes! We had an amazing time and bought a lot of food to try. If you missed out this year, remember to come back next year to try all the good food and beer!
This Summer at Birmingham Airport, a fun and exciting children’s adventure has launched to give the thousands of youngsters a fun and engaging experience before they fly, and peace for the parents! We were fortunate to get a chance to experience it without having to fly!
The Sky Side experience is free to join and will start from the moment the child arrives at check-in and ends when they arrive at a themed Sky Zone. Each child will get a booklet to complete the simple and fun mission. Look out for Zoom!
Yesterday was our last lesson for our Lichfield Mandarin Club and we held an end of term party with food and performances from the children. After nine months of hard work, our children are able to speak Mandarin. They are still working on their writing but still we are very proud of their improvement.
After food, we had a performance by the children where we each performed an act. A few weeks ago, I was asked to make a turnip. I was thinking buying cream and green cloth for the act. In the end, I just found whatever I could around the house to make a turnip.
Last Saturday, I attended the Tots100 Blog Summit in Birmingham. I only knew some of the attendees from their online personae before the event so it was lovely to meet this community of bloggers face to face. It was through Twitter that I found Annie Spratt. She had organised a meet up at the train station. When I reached the station, it was not hard to spot the whole group of bloggers standing in front of the information counter. Annie had her head down and tweeted. She then mentioned to the group, ET Speaks From Home should be coming soon! This is how I meet this amazing lady!
We were so lucky to win a pair of Yonex All England Open Badminton Championship 2013 Final tickets by entering ActivInstinct Facebook competition. Badminton is my husband’s favourite sport and he was so pleased that we won these tickets worth, more than £30.
