Fatherhood²: Review – The BOOMco Twisted Spinner

Posted on April 17, 2014January 7, 2018 by Henry Elliss

As any of you who have read one of my reviews will know, they haven’t been particularly inspired until this point. Usually because I’m asked to review stuff that doesn’t do much, or more likely because I’m just not a very good writer. Either way, I’m amazed that anybody has asked me to review anything lately.

Luckily, that hasn’t stopped people from asking – so I was very pleased to be asked to review a new range of ‘dart blaster’ toys from Mattel.

Photographer Dennis Stylist LinThe ‘BOOMco Twisted Spinner’ I was sent looked like an exciting contraption – so rather than do one of my usual boring reviews, I thought I’d go out on a limb and do something a little different this time.

Robert and I spent the morning testing out (read: playing with) the Twisted Spinner (which you can get at most toy shops, for around £25) and below you can watch our review – apologies in advance for my poor video editing skills, I’m sure I’ll get better at this with practise!

A big thanks to Mattel for sending the blaster to us in the first place – if you want to find out more about the range, take a look at their website or their YouTube/Instagram accounts.

Not only was it an amazing concert, there was a big surprise at the end when he bought out both @doddleoddle AND the legendary @realmattlucas - what a treat!

    As today is ‘Back British Farming’ day, I want As today is ‘Back British Farming’ day, I wanted to give a shout-out to all the farmers in the local area, especially Brimpton’s own @mbowden1954. One of my favourite aspects of living where we do now is being surrounded by countryside and farm land - and being able to see an actively-farmed field at the end of our garden. Every time something’s being done to the field I’m out with my camera, usually trying to figure out the names of all the machinery - and it’s so nice to see a product being grown right from seed to harvest. I know it’s not easy for farmers at the moment, and I dearly hope ours are able to keep farming for many years to come - so if you have one near you, make sure to show them all the support you can!
