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.

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!

Ginger and Rhubarb Loaf Cake Recipe

This post contains affiliate links and I may receive commission if you visit a link and buy something. Purchasing via an affiliate link doesn’t cost you any extra, and I only recommend products and services I trust.

One of the only things we grow in the garden is rhubarb and each year I try and find more things to make or bake with it. This year I decided to make a Ginger and Rhubarb Loaf Cake – and it turned out absolutely delicious!

Ginger and Rhubarb Loaf Cake Recipe

How do you make a Ginger and Rhubarb Loaf Cake?

This simple bake has all the usual cake ingredients – flour, sugar, eggs and butter plus rhubarb and glacé ginger. We use caster sugar usually for this recipe but golden caster sugar or light brown sugar work well too.

I love making loaf cakes as they are easy to slice and look great. This Rhubarb and Ginger Cake is perfect for any occasion – from breakfast to an afternoon tea spread or to add into a lunchboxes or take for a picnic. It’s a lovely bake and the chopped rhubarb ginger flavours work really well together.

Can you vary this recipe?

For this recipe we use glace ginger which is a product I’ve only discovered recently but absolutely love. It’s so full of flavour but is sweet and delicious, fantastic for bakes. If you don’t have any glace ginger, can’t find it in the shops or would rather have a more subtle bake you could add a teaspoon ground ginger or two instead. You could also use chopped stem ginger if you wanted but don’t use too much or the flavour will be overpowering.

I know a lot of people love to add vanilla extract to cakes but I love to leave it out to focus on the real flavours of the cake. If you love vanilla and want to add a teaspoon vanilla essence then I’m sure the cake would still be delicious!

We also use self raising flour for ease but you can always use plain flour and a little baking powder or baking soda if you wanted too. It’s a really versatile bake that can use whatever you have to hand at home.

This ginger rhubarb cake is one that the children love especially as they can help harvest the rhubarb before baking with it. It’s so nice for children to see the journey their food has been on to reach their plates.

If you’re looking for other bakes to make here’s our Madeira Cake, Cherry Yogurt Cake and Carrot Cake Fairy Cakes recipes. You can find all our recipes to date here.

What equipment do you need for this loaf cake recipe?

You can make this recipe simply with things you already have in your kitchen but here are the things we use in case there’s something you don’t already have:

  • Loaf tin
  • Loaf tin liners
  • Mixing bowl
  • Scales
  • Measuring spoons
  • Wooden spoon
  • Cake tester
  • Wire rack

As you can see, it’s all things you probably have already. We use loaf tin liners to guarantee that bakes come out of the tin easily and they’re great when baking as gifts too but parchment paper works well too.

So here’s our Ginger and Rhubarb Loaf Cake Recipe:

Ingredients

  • 180g unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 180g caster sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 160g self raising flour
  • 150g rhubarb, cut into small pieces
  • 100g glace ginger

Recipe

  • Preheat oven at 160C/300F/Gas 2
  • Cream together the butter and caster sugar in a mixing bowl
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well
  • Pour the batter mixture into a lined/greased loaf tin and bake in the middle of the oven for 50 minutes until brown on the top and a skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack and serve.
