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 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!

Croome {National Trust}

On the way to our holiday in Shropshire we stopped at Croome National Trust to break up our journey, stretch our legs and explore somewhere new. It’s somewhere I’ve never heard of before but I’m so glad we chose to stop off there.

Croome in Worcestershire is an 18th century house in grounds designed by Capability Brown. it’s a vast estate with many buildings in the grounds and different gardens and parklands to explore.

We began our time at Croome walking through the vast parkland with views across the serpentine river and over the Malvern hills. As soon as our walkway came out to show the parkland ahead we were blown away. It was a real wow moment.

There are a few different signposted walks to do at Croome but you can just wander around without following an official walk. We followed a rough 1.5 mile circuit of the park and took in so many of Croome’s sights. It was a fantastic place to spend time, outside in the sunshine.

Croome House is open to walk around on the ground floor although the interior is quite sparse. They do utilise space to showcase local artists who have works depicting the Croome Estate. This was lovely to look at and made a refreshing change from typical National Trust houses that feel like a time warp.

After exploring the house we carried on our walk, crossing the river, walking through formal gardens and evening exploring an orangery that was home to friendly birds too. There were so many volunteers working at Croome and they were all so friendly and full of information.

During the Second World War Croome was used as a secret wartime airbase and it’s still home to an RAF museum in the visitor centre which we sadly didn’t have time to explore. That’s our excuse to make another trip!

The children’s favourite part of the trip was the natural play area. It was small but great to let off some steam. There was also a more formal play area but it was closed for maintenance when we visited although I’m sure it’s open again now.

Croome has a restaurant and toilets available at the visitor centre as well as a National Trust shop. It’s a really lovely day out for the whole family and dogs are welcome – with special dog friendly walks too. You can find out more about Croome over on the National Trust website.
