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!

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!

Lemon Bakewell Tarts Recipe

I love a Bakewell Tart. They’re a favourite bake of mine not just to make at home but also to buy at cafes. The combination of pastry, frangipane sponge and jam makes for the perfect cake and over the last few months I’ve been playing around with Bakewell flavours at home too.

Can you top these Bakewell Tarts with almonds?

We created a Mince Pie Bakewell Tart using mincemeat instead of jam and have now perfected a Lemon Bakewell using lemon curd. You can have a Lemon Bakewell Tart finished with flaked almonds and serve warm but we love to alternate between swirling readymade zesty lemon icing on the top or a dollop of royal icing. You could even use buttercream icing for an extra level of decadence.

Lemon Bakewell Tarts

Lemon Bakewells are such a nice spring and summer alternative to a traditional bakewell tart for the whole family. They have so much flavour and are light and zesty, perfect for a nice afternoon tea in the sunshine or sweet treats for dessert.

  • Cream the margarine and sugar before adding the eggs and beat together.
  • Add the lemon essence, lemon zest and ground almonds and flour, folding to add air to the mixture
  • Spoon the almond filling mixture on top of the lemon curd in each pastry case
  • Bake for approx 20 minutes until golden brown
  • Leave to cool on a wire rack
  • Top each tart with a swirl of lemon icing or mix the icing sugar with water and lemon essence before spooning on the top
  • Top with a lemon jelly slice and enjoy!

    Where does the 80g of flour come into it? I can’t see it being used in the instructions
    Thank you

      Sorry Emma – it’s in with the ground almonds to make the frangipane mixture. I’ve edited the method as must have missed it off!
