I always have a lot of questions about accommodati I always have a lot of questions about accommodation when we stay anywhere as a family so I thought I’d share this little tour of our room at @windjammerlanding which was a pretty perfect place to stay.

It’s the ‘Ocean View Two Bedroom’ which was like a little house, with an upstairs and downstairs, built into the hillside. Both rooms had outdoor space and their own shower rooms. Such a great option for a family.

And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is watching her grow and what a wonderful young woman she is becoming. We could not be more proud. Love you Pickle, have a great birthday.
We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in S We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in St Lucia staying at @windjammerlanding and it was just the holiday we needed. Two weeks of sunshine and relaxation in what must be one of the most beautiful islands in the world. 

We can’t wait to go back again in the future. Here’s just a little snippet of our trip.
AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @na AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @national_motor_museum despite the rain! The children loved the Little Beaulieu play area and we loved exploring the National Motor Museum and Top Gear exhibit before having a ride on the monorail! We went on an old open topped bus, explored the Beaulieu Manor House and loved the gardens. 
Beaulieu is always a great day out - whatever the weather. This summer they have a whole ‘Summer of Fun’ planned, with activities most days - parades, bird shows and hundreds of sculptures within the grounds too. If you’re looking for a day out this summer definitely think about heading to Beaulieu.
AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to t AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to their first concert - but it was so much more than just a concert! @abbavoyage is incredible. With CGI ABBA and a live band, it’s like being at an ABBA concert 40 years ago but with modern lighting, effects and sound. ABBA look and sound real, it’s a mind blowing experience.
The set includes all the songs you know and love as well as a few less familiar ones.
You can’t take photos during the show which actually made a refreshing change. A whole arena focused purely on the show and soaking up the moment. It’s definitely something the four of us will always remember.
Now, I’m off to sing Dancing Queen all the way home.
AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdo AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdockyard today. They have a fantastic Ultimate Explorer ticket that lets you visit all the attractions as many times as you like for 12 months - and after a day at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard we can see that you need more than one day to really do everything!

We explored HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and the Mary Rose Exhibition - which is incredible! We also saw where ships are built and restored and spent time in Action Stations where the kids climbed and did an assault course.

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is such a fun, educational day out with something for all ages - we can’t wait to go on their harbour tours next time we visit!

They’ve both had a great year at school this year. Troy’s first without his sister by his side and Athena’s first at secondary school. 

They both had great reports, always did their best and have made some really lovely new friends this year. I could not be more proud of them.

Now, let’s go and enjoy the next six weeks before school starts all over again!

A Guide to Working Abroad and How to Do It Best | AD

*This is a collaborative guest post

Working abroad can not only broaden the experience of a person as a professional, it can also make them much more well-adjusted and adaptable human beings, capable of handling a multitude of difficulties which one often does not encounter when working in familiar conditions. Here is a basic and simple guide to working abroad and how to do it best.

Booking Your Taxi to and from the Airport

It is basic preparations like this that can save someone from a lot of stress and hardship. Pre-booking taxis to and from the airport is very important for someone who is new to the city and is extremely easy to do. It is the first step every professional must take in their bid to figure out how they’ll get around in their new place of occupation.

Working Abroad for Winter

With the financial year nearing to its end, a lot of companies tend to hire specialists from around the world to join their workforce and work for the ‘Ski Season’. Taking up a winter job has a lot of benefits. It is understandable that the obvious negatives will come to mind at first, such as staying away from family and friends for the holidays, however, a professional working abroad can learn a lot and also try out a unique and distinct way of celebrating the winter with perhaps a bit of skiing!

Spending Your Summer Working Abroad

There are a lot of summer jobs available every year in major financial hubs around the world. Getting a summer job in a foreign city could be a fantastic learning experience. Students or aspiring professionals looking to secure their dream summer job must be prepared in advance. A lot of major companies begin looking for summer job applicants by November or December of the previous year. Almost all major companies on the lookout for hiring people for summer posts have their appointments done and dusted by April or May.

Start the Visa Process in Advance

Regardless of whether or not you are interested in working aboard, it is essential that you have the correct documentation ready that will allow you to enter the country. Different countries have different rules on visas depending on your length of stay and nationality, so be sure to check these out before you fly. A working visa is often an essential requirement and must be purchased before your start date.

Prepare for the Language Barrier

Download a mobile application and try to familiarise yourself with all the day to day phrases that need to be learnt – the language barrier is usually not that difficult to cross as people all around the world tend to be empathetic, but it’s a problem worth preparing for.

These are some of the basic steps every professional aspiring to work abroad must take!
