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.

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!

Marks and Spencer Cheese Selection and Biscuits Review

Disclosure: We were sent the featured products for the purpose of this post however all opinions are my own.

Dave and I have always had one weakness when it comes to food and that is cheese and biscuits. It’s something we love having as another course for Christmas dinner, and something that we indulge in throughout the year in the evening when we’re watching a movie together or relaxing with friends.

What is the Marks and Spencer Cheese Selection like?

M&S recently introduced us to their new range of cheese in their shop. We thought the best way of trying it properly would be as cheese and biscuits. One of my favourite things when having an evening of cheese and biscuits is to get a selection pack of cheese.

The M&S Mini Cheese Selection is perfect to give a great variety of cheese with Cornish Cove Cheddar cheese, Farmhouse Red Leicester and Blacksticks Blue.

Review: Cheese and Biscuits thanks to M&S

The three cheeses really compliment each other. If you have guests it is a great way of making sure you have a cheese for everyone. Also, at just £2.49 it’s a great value cheese selection too. These are all cheeses that you would be familiar with and know what to expect from them.

I’m not that keen on blue cheese but the Blacksticks Blue was wonderfully creamy and not very blue. This is a perfect blue cheese for someone just starting to experiment with different cheeses.

We also tried the Cloth Wrapped Double Gloucester which is handmade by the Wensleydale Creamery in Yorkshire. It has a smooth and buttery texture with a mild nutty flavour.

This is a cheese that we hadn’t tried before but really liked it. It had a different flavour to our typical mature cheddar but the texture was similar although more creamy. We really enjoyed it, especially with a caramelised onion relish!

What were our overall thoughts?

If you’re looking for something for your cheese board then definitely take a look at the cheese selection in M&S. They have a great variety and something for everyone as well as so many offers too.

M&S have so many fantastic European cheeses and I can’t wait to try their French Brie next.They also have cheese selection gifts, a cheese and chutney selection and a cheese board selection.

There are so many other gifts and sharing options amongst the food at marks and spencer and now cheese is something I go to M&S for – along with party food, barbecue food, cakes, wine and their beauty advent calendar at Christmas!

    Love the idea of the pack of cheeses and £2.49 is really reasonable for Marks and Spencer. You can’t beat a film with cheese and some chutney to snack on x
