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!

Getting Ready for Winter with PlumbNation

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

We always have a list of jobs that need doing around the house and one that we have been meaning to tick off for such a long time was replacing two old radiators in the bedrooms. When we came back from Florida it felt so cold, and like autumn had really set in, that we booked someone to fit new radiators for us immediately.

Radiators are one of those things you don’t really think about until they go wrong or, in our case, until you think about decorating. We’ve slowly replaced radiators throughout the house as we’ve decorated rooms with LP’s radiator being replaced a couple of years ago, the lounge before that and all the ones at the back of the house being taken out in favour of under floor heating when our extension was completed. So it just left Little Man’s room and our room to do.

Both radiators were single panel and well over ten years old. We wanted something more economical as far as heat was concerned and something that would look better too. In the end we chose a pretty standard double panel radiator for Little Man’s room, going in the same place as his old one, under the window, and filling the whole available space.

We had shutters fitted in our room a year or two ago and so we wanted something more traditional to be in keeping with the period features of the house so we chose a white cast iron, traditional radiator. Previously the radiator had been off centre to the window but the plumbers fitted it central to the window and it fit the gap perfectly – and looks like it has always been there.

The new radiators work well, were simple for the plumbers to fit and look great in the rooms. We are now moving on to decorating Little Man’s room and getting him carpet for the first time which I’ll write about once it’s finished. At least we know that our bedrooms will be toasty for the winter – I actually can’t wait to put the heating on.
