The Gift of Presence!
As we lead into the Christmas season, tripr challenged me to think about giving my ‘presence’ early and to put a little spin on gifts this year by instead giving the gift of time and presence with friends and family. So, I decided to take my mother-in-law, who does so much for the family, to London for a completely different and unique experience! I booked tickets for the new completely immersive experience at the Gunpowder Immersive experience, which involves a combination of INCREDIBLE virtual reality and live actors, which saw us transported back to 1605 and at one point, literally swinging over London!
We also had lunch at the amazing Caffe Concerto in Whitehall, which was absolutely amazing! The decor inside is stunning, the chandeliers hanging from the ceilings made it for me! The food itself was so beautifully presented, there are so many tasty options, including vegetarian and vegan options and the selection of cakes was out of this world. Plus, the staff in there are SO friendly. It was so lovely to spend some one-on-one quality time together.
Christmas is definitely not just about presents being physical, but also being ‘present’ and sharing experiences together!

I love discovering new places, stumbling upon hidden gems and making memories with my family along the way! For us, nothing beats experiencing the world around us and we’ve been lucky enough to have been on some brilliant family-friendly trips and to have experienced some amazing events and days out, from days at the beach, to fun at the theme parks, to simple forest walks, fun-packed road trips, and even climbing mountains together and a bit of medieval glamping! I’m also a big fan of history so have visited many places with really interesting historic connections!
