AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @p AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @pottersresortsfivelakes with @slwilson84. It was an action packed three nights with a full activity and entertainment programme, great food, lovely drinks and beautiful surroundings. 

The staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home and they ensure that everyone has the best time possible. I don’t think I stopped smiling all weekend.

The best thing about Potters holidays is that everything is included in the price you pay. Four meals a day, all your drinks - including wine, Prosecco, most spirits and soft drinks - great accommodation and so many activities. 

I’ll write a full review soon but for now here’s a little Reel of our weekend
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!

Smoked Haddock Macaroni Cheese Recipe – Our Cheese Rules #CheeseRules | AD

*This is a paid post

We are a family of cheese lovers. SO much so that it’s something we eat every day – from cheese on toast to cheese salads and cheese and biscuits in the evening. We often have cheese incorporated into our dinner and watching Cathedral City’s latest adverts I had to nod along, there are definitely cheese rules in our house too!

Our Cheese Rules - and a Smoked Haddock Macaroni Cheese Recipe! #CheeseRules

What are our cheese rules?

We have homemade nachos once a week – and the cheese has to be bubbling and crispy around the edges. The best bit is definitely scraping the last of the crispy cheese from the dish at the end! We also have cheese and biscuits regularly and it’s an unsaid rule that you have to have cheese that’s at least the same size as the cracker – a 50:50 ratio is definitely a bare minimum when it comes to cheese!

One recipe we love to enjoy as a family that really abides by our cheese rules is Smoked Haddock Macaroni Cheese. With Cathedral City, the Nation’s Favourite mature cheddar cheese, in the sauce and more on top, which is then baked to give it that crispy finish, it’s a meal with as much cheese as possible and for us it has our favourite cheese rule – any cheesy meal must have crispy cheese on top which works so well with this pasta dish.

For an added layer of richness and flavour you can add butter and mustard to the sauce but we usually keep this quite plain so that the children enjoy it as much as possible – adding just some salt and black pepper if we feel like it.

This is such a delicious meal and a great alternative to a classic macaroni cheese. The cheese and smoky haddock flavours work so well with it all sticking together and it’s one of those fantastic comfort foods. It’s without a doubt one of the children’s favourite fish recipes and a plate of food they would happily eat again and again.

This haddock pasta is the perfect family meal for any time of year and Cathedral City gives it the perfect flavour – with that distinctive, smooth and creamy taste it’s a cheese that all the family love. The 40g cheese for the topping is definitely a bare minimum – you can keep adding cheese until you have a topping that is perfect for everyone.

    My friend told me today that her husband-to-be doesn’t like cheese! Personally, I think that’s reason to call the wedding off!

    I love Cathedral city and like that you can buy a lighter version that tastes just as good too 😀

    Your recipe looks delish!
