Takeshita street in Tokyo has to be one of the cutest streets in the world with stores brimming full of pink, fluffy objects. We spotted Tooti Candy Factory creating gigantic multicoloured candy floss. It was a rather impressive, UFO looking light, airy cotton, infused with delicious mango and strawberry flavours through each layer. Cotton candy has come a long way from fairgrounds and now much of an art form; a perfect addition to any event.

When we heard about The Jurrasic world exhibition we couldn’t wait to check it out. Do you remember the first Jurassic Park movie? Did you sit back, and watch in awe, imagining what it would be like to there. With high expectations from the outset, for the immersive experience, these were well and truly exceeded. From the moment you step onto the boat, towards the Jurassic islands, the adventure begins. You soon arrive at Jurrasic World, with enormous gate, surrounded by lush trees. The first dinosaur you see stands tall and is rather impressive. There are baby dinosaurs that can be gently stroked. There’s fossils to be excavated and Dinosaur eggs to be marvelled over. Over in the laboratory there is even an opportunity to touch dinosaur poo, if you are in that way inclined. Yes it was just a squishy and disgusting as you might expect. There are opportunities to see dinosaurs in training, and dinosaur’s devouring their dinner. These areas are dark and there’s a sense of fear from the unknown. With some sudden movements of the dinosaurs in the shadows leaving you on edge. You will find yourself running when the sirens go, from a dinosaur that […]
Windsor Illuminated sees Savill Garden beautifully lit up by night. It is so magical, and not to be missed. The music is regal as you approach a twinkly castle of lights. As you walk through the illuminated woodland each area has it’s own unique charm. The fairy trail was one of our favourites and the little one was mesmerised by the tiny little fairies, floating in bubbles. As the paths wind round, you are quickly immersed into flashing lights and there is a noticable change in tempo.With a skip in our step, we arrived at the Fairy disco. With “Dancing Queen” blaring, sparkling disco balls, smoke effects, and fairies flying, it really was special. As we got deeper into the woods, there were wonderful projections of animals to be marvelled over. The projections into the water fountains were absolutely stunning. With reindeers and Santa Claus amongst the fantastic projections, we loved standing back to watch this over the water in Windsor Great Park. Walking through the tunnel of flashing lights was surreal. The dazzling lights spiral and circle around you as you walk through. One of the best things about winter walks is the heartwarming food. We stopped to toast marshmallows and […]
