Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
This Christmas season, if you happen to be in Birmingham or are planning things to do with your family, why not check out this outstanding performance of Pinocchio at The Old Rep Theatre? This adaptation of Carlo Collodi’s classic tale Pinocchio is now showing until the 30th December 2018!
If you are looking for things to do in the Midlands this summer, then you must not miss out visiting Conkers! Conkers is a great family attraction at the heart of The National Forest, with indoor and outdoor play areas, interactive discovery zones, 4D cinema and an amphitheatre. Also not forgetting the Vertigo Adventures which was opened three years ago! Note that some activities will require booking at the Discovery Reception and extra fees may apply.
I am so pleased to welcome the month of February which means spring will be here soon. I can’t wait for the weather to change! We often have craft kits at home which are great to do together during rainy days and in a kit form, it’s nice that all the relevant materials are included.
As part of the team of Baker Ross bloggers, we often receive great craft kits from them and this month, we have received a range of spring themed craft kits. We were provided Peacock Crinkle Decoration kits, Flower Suncatcher Decorations, Bug Pom Pom Decoration kits, Flower Creative Colouring Wreath Decorations and Craft pens.
Last week, we finally went to Ripley’s Believe it or Not in London. We have walked past it many times but have never had a chance to visit. Ripley’s is situated right by Piccadilly Circus Underground Station which has services from both the Piccadilly Line and the Bakerloo Line. Upon arrival at the tube station, use Exit 4 to Coventry Street. It is really easy to find!
Making bread is one form of baking that I always like to do with my children. It’s such a simple food yet the smell never fails to make your mouth water. Ms C loves her bread and the only bread she eats is plain! We can’t get her to eat any other bread, like cheesy bread or even bread with sesame seeds. So this half term, we made bread together to go along with her soup.
