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.
A little photo dump from our holiday in St Lucia. A little photo dump from our holiday in St Lucia. We’ve been back a few days now but still miss the heat, the food, the pool, the constant sounds of wildlife and the lovely people. It was such a great holiday and I’m sure we’ll be back one day.
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!

Baked Lemon Cheesecake Recipe

This post contains affiliate links and I may receive commission if you visit a link and buy something. Purchasing via an affiliate link doesn’t cost you any extra, and I only recommend products and services I trust.

This Baked Lemon Cheesecake recipe creates my never fail dinner party pudding and it’s something we have been cooking for years. It tastes amazing and yet is low fat – adapted from an old Weight Watchers easy recipe!

I find that this is best made in advance – the night before or even earlier the same day as you need to chill it before serving. It’s fine kept for a couple of days in the fridge too but I find that serving it straight after cooking doesn’t give the best results – it definitely needs a few hours to chill to enjoy it at it’s best.

The taste of lemons in this lemon cheesecake are wonderful and fresh making it a really lovely dessert for any time of the year. It can be served on it’s own or with whipped cream and friends and family always really enjoy it.

This low fat cheesecake filling is made with lemon zest, cream cheese, creme fraiche and Greek yogurt and can be used to make mini cheesecakes too. The base is mainly Digestive biscuits but you could have a Graham Cracker crust instead and lemon curd or fresh lemon juice could add a whole new depth of cheesecake lemon flavor as well. I really love lemon bakes.

Is this Baked Lemon Cheesecake a recipe the whole family can enjoy?

Our children really like cheesecake recipes – this one especially. It’s a thick and creamy lemon cheesecake, holds its shape well and it so full of flavour. It’s a really lovely dessert especially when there are children to enjoy it too.

Lemons are so easily accessible that this is such an easy cheesecake to make and a really timeless flavour but I have also made an orange cheesecake too in the past to add a touch of variety to our puddings.

When should I bake this low fat baked Lemon Cheesecake recipe?

This delicious baked Lemon Cheesecake is great for a social gathering and works well as a formal dessert served with cream or ice cream. It could also be served ready sliced as part of a dinner party at room temperature or just enjoy on as everyday dessert after dinner.

But, it would also work well as an afternoon tea treat. There really is no wrong time to enjoy a baked cheesecake – let alone a baked lemon one! It really is the best lemon cheese cake we have ever had and really it’s such an easy lemon cheesecake too.

Here’s our perfect Baked Lemon Cheesecake recipe – happy baking!

Ingredients

  • 150 g low fat digestive biscuits crushed.
  • 35 g low fat spread melted
  • 150 g golden caster sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornflour
  • zest of 2 lemons We don’t need the rest of the lemons – how about save them to slice and put in your G&T?!
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 300 g low fat soft cheese
  • 200 g low fat creme fraiche
  • 110 g 0% fat greek yogurt
  • 2 eggs beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven Gas 6/200c/180c Fan Oven.
  • Line an 8 inch tin with non stick paper or baking paper.
  • Mix the crushed biscuits and melted spread with a tablespoon of water until combined. Spread over the base of the spring form tin and press down firmly. Put in the fridge to chill.
  • Mix the sugar, cornflour and lemon zest in a large bowl or use a food processor if you want to.
  • Beat cream cheese, vanilla creme fraiche, yogurt and eggs until smooth and nicely combined.
  • Pour over the chilled biscuit base and bake cheesecake for 40-50 minutes or until it has cracked slightly and has shrunk away from the sides of the tin. It should be golden on top and still slightly wobbly in the centre – it firms as it cools.
  • Leave to cool in the springform pan before removing from the cake tin. Transfer to a plate and chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.

    I needed a recipe for a light, baked lemon cheesecake to make for my brother’s birthday tomorrow. I think he’s going to like this, so thanks! Have you any other serving suggestions please? I was thinking possibly fresh blueberries but am not sure if they’ll be in the shops – I’d like to find something refreshing and not too heavy, as since being ill, my brother can’t stomach rich food. All the best 🙂

      Something like a raspberry coulis would go nicely but I’ve never made one 🙂 It’s lovely on it’s own too x
