Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
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.
Finally, I have time to pick up where I left off when I blogged about our trip to Palma, Majorca. One of the things we did during this trip was a road trip and sightseeing! Having being brought up in a big city, sightseeing is always a luxury thing for us to appreciate the scenery and to enjoy the fresh air.
This half term, we had a family friendly Halloween movie night in. Thanks to HMV sending us a box full of sweets, balloons, face paints, fangs, candles, a game, Casper DVD and The Addams Family Values DVD to help us to start this ultimate family night in!

Have you ever thought of asking what your children’s ideal holiday is? We have been invited to take part in a blogger challenge to ask our children this question. I am so glad that I have asked them this question as we have just came back from visiting two amazing countries in Singapore, my homeland, and Japan, a fascinating and multifaceted culture.
The Momofuku Ando Instant Ramen Museum is an interactive museum dedicated to instant noodles and Cup Noodles, as well as its creator and founder, Momofuku Ando. They open daily except Tuesdays. Do plan well before you travel. It was very easy to access by train and is within walking distance from the train station to the museum. We took the express train and reached there in 20 minutes time from the main station, Umeda station.
One of our highlights for our Osaka trip besides checking out the Pokémon centre, was to experience Japanese culture, in particular, learning samurai. I found out about this class while researching for things to do in Osaka and was so pleased that we tried a lesson!
This Easter weekend, Wall Roman Site hosted an Easter Egg Hunt, so we decided to pop in! After all these years, living just a stone’s throw away from Wall, we finally visited this open air site managed and maintained by English Heritage, and owned by the National Trust.
Did you know that this year Mr Men Little Miss is celebrating their 45th birthday anniversary? They would like their fans to show off their collections online via the Virtual Archive. These will be displayed on rolling screens at Gallery@OXO, beneath the iconic OXO Tower on London’s South Bank, alongside physical items, creating an ever-changing exhibition of the nation’s most-loved Mr Men and Little Miss memorabilia.
Last week, we were invited to test out the Playmobil Super 4 Treasure Hunt before it opened to the public on Monday 19th October 2015 right up to Christmas. We were also invited to be part of their promotion. As you can see, Ms C was very thrilled to stand next to Twinkle!
