So I had wanted to try this for a while and embrace the inner child in me. So sitter booked . Me and my cousin hopped on the train to Shoreditch, one of my usual haunts for a night out, and headed to Ballie Ballerson on Curtain Road which is also one on the same road as Flat Iron. Walking to hit a flower wall, perfect for those looking take that Instagram picture. To access the ball pit you do have to book, I would advise booking in advance as tickets sell fast for this experience . So we grabbed some of their tropical, sweet cocktails while we waited. Finally after a short wait descended into the ball pit. Now this was hard to describe, it was as if you suddenly forget you're an adult; wading ,jumping, falling into the balls, trying to dance and dodge balls flying at your head and face. The ball pit is a room full of glass mirrors, which we used to get a quick picture . Sadly our time was up so we headed out, danced and grabbed a couple more drinks. I could not leave without trying the electrifying 'Espresso Flames Martini' which I would say is a must when you go there. Then it was off home back to mum life.
A late night for little one . So, as an adult you forget the excitement of days like this, but seeing things through her eyes as mother is fresh and exciting, something that I do not want to end. Lucky for us in my borough, they offer free tickets for local residents - these are limited and so I had to book early.
I do not drive, which living London is not an issue. I am grateful that transport is easy and quick most of the time. So after weeks of her being thrilled about the idea of going, we had a quick change out of her uniform and then we were back out and on the bus there. The fireworks were in a park which had all different food stalls and vendors and a couple of small stages which had performances from fire dancers, which were exhilarating to say the least. Then for the main event itself; lifting her up on my shoulders so that she could watch the fireworks, seeing her face light up was a perfect end to the night. |
