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!

Bernard Matthews recently sent us a Golden Norfolk Whole Turkey to see if we could rise to the challenge of creating a tasty meal with our turkey leftovers. I am always up for a challenge, especially a food related one, and as soon as the turkey had defrosted we enjoyed a lovely practice run of roast turkey and all the trimmings. I am always looking to create more leftover turkey recipes and so this sounded like the perfect challenge for us!

Bernard Matthews Leftover Challenge #BootifulMeals
Roast Turkey

What do you do with leftover turkey?

Over the last few years of cooking Christmas dinners in the kitchen I have become accustomed to having so many Christmas leftovers and leftover turkey being a big part of that. Finding ways to use it up is always a challenge and we now have a tradition of having Jamie Oliver’s Turkey and Leek Pie on Boxing Day. Through the year though I love to make turkey soup or a Turkey and Sausage Stew in the slow cooker which could easily incorporate leftover turkey instead of buying turkey especially.

Turkey, Sweetcorn and Bacon Pie

I’ve also made that turkey stew into easy turkey pot pies before with a puff pastry lid – I really do love turkey and think it is an incredibly versatile and undervalued meat. For this challenge I decided to cook something completely different from our other pie recipes – a wonderfully creamy turkey pie that the whole family will love. And you just can’t beat the turkey bacon combination!

For this recipe we tend to use standard back bacon rashers but you could use streaky bacon instead or any bacon or ham leftover from the festivities.

This Creamy Turkey, Sweetcorn and Bacon Pie Recipe would be great to make after Christmas or with the leftover thanksgiving turkey and is just so easy to make with such a delicious creamy filling.

As it has a potato top it doesn’t have a traditional pie crust but it’s wholesome, filling and perfect for a winter dinner or family get together. It’s lovely on its own or served simply with some green vegetables or steamed frozen mixed vegetables. I hope you enjoy it!
