Published on November 18, 2025December 8, 2025 by VictoriaLeave a comment

We recently visited Pixel Pop in Newquay for a unique interactive gaming experience using a real pixelated floor and wall. It’s a new tech adventure in Newquay, and we booked it for the kids as soon as we saw it online because it looked like so much fun.

So what is Pixel Pop really like? And is it worth visiting?

In my Pixel Pop review, I’ll share everything about our visit, including how it works, what to expect, our honest thoughts, photos, and a short video showing the experience in action. I’ll also embed some of Pixel Pop’s own posts so you can get a feel for the games and atmosphere.

If you’re thinking about booking, hopefully this helps.

Exploring Mousehole in Cornwall: My Rainy Walk & Travel Photo Diary

Published on September 9, 2025September 18, 2025 by VictoriaLeave a comment

Mousehole is often described as one of the prettiest villages in Cornwall, with its sheltered harbour, narrow granite streets, and traditional cottages. Just a short distance from Penzance, it’s a popular spot for a day trip, coastal walk, or a wander through its galleries and cafés.
