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!

Caramelised Onion Pigs in Blankets Recipe

It’s no secret that pigs in blankets are pretty much the most important part of our Christmas dinner and they are something I look forward to throughout the year. We often have them as part of a buffet during the festive season and always make sure we cook a few too many to snack on or have in festive leftover sandwiches too.

Pigs in a blanket variations

Over the last few years I’ve made so many different easy pigs in blankets recipes – traditional pigs in blankets as well as maple glazed pigs in blankets and honey and mustard ones too. There’s nothing like a little bit of flavour to give a really lovely twist on a classic recipe. Don’t get me wrong, pigs in blankets aren’t the most healthy side dish but they’re definitely a tasty one!

Caramelized onion pigs in blankets

So this year I thought I’d combine my favourite food of the festive season with something else we only ever seen to have at Christmas – caramelized onion relish. We usually save this relish – or chutney – for the cheeseboard but it makes an amazing marinade for pigs in blankets too.

This isn’t exactly a gourmet pig in a blanket recipe. Instead it’s a really simple homemade pigs in a blanket recipe that every family can enjoy at home over the festive season. It’s quick, perfect and delicious! Plus, you can also make pigs in blankets in the air fryer too!

You can see all our pigs in blankets variations here if you’re looking for even more inspiration – and we have a whole bank of Christmas recipes too!

Caramelised Onion Pigs in Blankets

So here’s our Caramelised Onion Pigs in Blankets Recipe:

Ingredients

  • 18 cocktail sausages or you can use chipolata sausages for bigger pigs in blankets! Chicken sausages or vegetarian sausages would work well too.
  • 9 smoked streaky bacon rashers
  • Half a jar of caramelised onion relish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180C and line an oven dish or deep baking tray with foil
  • Cut each rasher of streaky bacon in half and wrap around a sausage, securing with a cocktail stick if needed. Repeat, placing the wrapped sausages in the oven dish.
  • Bake the pigs in blankets for 20 minutes before pouring away the excess fat from the dish.
  • Pour the caramelised onion relish over the sausages.
  • Place back in the oven to roast for another 15-20 minutes until the sausages are nicely golden browned.
  • Once they’ve finished cooking, remove sausages from the dish, giving them one last coat in the marinade.
