Beyond the Farm: Hong Kong trams and birthday preparations
A tram ride, market exploring and some stubborn birthday decorations fill the family's latest Hong Kong day. Tom also reports £5,693 raised for The 110's Movember team.
Based on the Life of Tom vlog published 4 November 2026, “My Sons Birthday Surprise… Did’t go to Plan! 😂🎉”; reviewed 4 November from its English captions (about 38 minutes). The upload date does not establish when every scene was filmed.
Trams and Central Market
The family's Hong Kong adventure continues with breakfast, a double-decker tram ride and another look around Central Market. Tom finds miniature cars and model scenes that catch his eye, including a present for Alfie that will need assembling later.
Escalators, a former prison and a playground
The day takes them up the city's escalators to a former prison site, followed by a playground stop and food back at the hotel. There is also time to revisit memories from an earlier Hong Kong trip before saying goodbye to friends heading home. A possible future visit to the family's ancestral village is talked about as an idea, not a booked trip. Tram and food prices mentioned along the way are personal observations, not a visitor guide.
Birthday preparations
The funniest part comes after the children are asleep. Tom and Lydia try to put up a birthday display for Alfie, but the decorations have other ideas: letters keep dropping off as they try to get everything ready for morning. This is preparation for the next day, not a completed birthday celebration.
A Movember update
Alongside the family moments, Tom reports £5,693 raised for The 110's Movember team. That is a snapshot reported in the vlog published 4 November, not a live balance, with the community continuing towards its £110,000 goal. It replaces the earlier £3,717 as the latest reported figure; the two are not added together.
With Alfie already having received generous gifts from pumpkin-patch visitors, Tom and Lydia suggest another way to mark his birthday: supporting the Movember team with a donation, for anyone able to give any amount they can. It is voluntary, not a payment to Alfie or a gift list. This unofficial fan site takes no donations and links only to Movember's own team page: https://movember.com/t/the-110?mc=1
Back at the farm
This vlog contains no new farm operating update. The full 2026 pumpkin patch remains complete and closed, and the smaller pop-up, which operated and reported sales, has an unconfirmed current opening status. Check the farm's official updates before travelling: https://www.instagram.com/the110farm/
