Instagram post 18013865488257627 This week I was invited to see this year’s Hertford Theatre Panto - The Snow Queen. Once again the team in Hertford have created a musical masterpiece. You get something a bit different to a traditional panto, it’s a musical extravaganza where you’ll still find plenty of opportunities to join in (oh yes you will…), there’s audience participation, a sprinkling of icing and you might even learn the ancient reindeer martial art of Kung Poo.
❄️🌟❄️🌟❄️
This was my fourth @hertfordtheatre panto and every year it has me coming back for more!
❄️🌟❄️🌟❄️
Enjoy a fairytale adventure with West End sparkle, shining performances, live music and even some snow! Hertford Theatre’s The Snow Queen, is another diamond, so make sure you get your tickets.
❄️🌟❄️🌟❄️
There’s a link to my review in my profile.

Instagram post 18118976026032537 December is here and today I helped to decorate one of the @stalbanspostboxes with my yarnbombing partner @stalbansmums
❤️🎄❤️
The amazing @translationsindevon and @stuart.candy have worked tirelessly to create 54 amazing crochet creations to decorate local postboxes in aid of three fantastic charities @earthworksst.albans , Small Acts of Kindness and Age Concern. All I had to do was unveil this beauty and donate money to charity. Isn’t it amazing?
❤️🎄❤️
Enjoy, share any photos using #stalbanspostboxes and if you are able to donate then visit the link in my bio to find the Just Giving Page. Nearly £5,000 has been donated already!
❤️🎄❤️
Special mention to the first visitors to our Holywell Hill postbox, George and his family. We hope you have lots of fun finding the other 53 postbox toppers!
❤️🎄❤️
It’s been an absolute pleasure to yarnbomb today and be involved in a project that brings smiles to so many faces at this time of year.
❤️🎄❤️
Let’s smash the fundraising target and show that all the hard work, collaboration and commitment is worth a donation, whether big or small, once they are all added together it makes a HUGE difference.
❤️🎄❤️
Merry Christmas St Albans!
❤️🎄❤️

Instagram post 18082660240094459 Last night we were invited to try the new Classic Festive Menu at @themarchmontarms in #hemelhempstead - a cosy, relaxed gastropub not too far from us. The food was very good and the evening was even more fun with @stalbansmums there to try the menu too.
🎄🥂🎄🍾🎄🥂🎄
The Classic Festive Menu has a fantastic range of choices including a tomato and almond bake which is suitable for vegans, salmon fillet with a smoky mussel cream and of course there’s roasted turkey with a glossy red wine gravy and a very tasty pork and clementine stuffing or even maple pork belly.
🎄🥂🎄🍾🎄🥂🎄
There’s also a very good Festive Cocktail Menu with highlights including the Sipsmith Bramble Royale with spiced bramble gin topped with prosecco or my favourite, a classic Espresso Martini.
🎄🥂🎄🍾🎄🥂🎄
The service was friendly and attentive, there was a relaxed, festive atmosphere with tasteful Christmas decorations and Christmas crackers on the tables. The food was really very good and I thoroughly enjoyed my starter of creamy garlic mushrooms, although I had slight food envy over the deep-fried Brie. The roast turkey was succulent and the gravy was plentiful and delicious. I wasn’t quite ready for Christmas pudding so early in the season and opted instead for a smooth and silky crème brûlée with a satisfyingly crunchy caramel topping.
🎄🥂🎄🍾🎄🥂🎄
If you’re still looking for somewhere to go for a fantastic festive feast then take a look at the Marchmont Arms for great food, service and value for money. The Classic Festive Menu was £27.95 for three courses and the portions were generous.

Instagram post 17846210107783171 Lapland UK is such a magical place. From the moment we checked-in we were transported to a world of elves and snow. We’ve helped to make toys in the workshop, iced gingerbread with Mother Christmas, met Pixie Mixie, Conker and Wish the elves, written letters in the post office, been ice skating, tiptoed past the reindeer who need their sleep ready for Christmas Eve and then we met Father Christmas!
🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻
A day to remember.

🎄🎄🎄🎄
We were invited to Waddesdon Manor to find out what’s on offer this Christmas and it didn’t disappoint. There’s a fantastic festive mix with the Christmas Fair, wonderful decorations inside the Manor House and the enchanting light displays in the grounds.
