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!

Mince Pie Flapjacks 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.

If you’re looking for a tasty treat that reminds you of all things festive and isn’t traditional festive baking like a normal mince pie then you should give these Mince Pie Flapjacks a go.

Mince Pie Flapjacks Recipe

A very simple twist on a typical flapjack but it tastes just like mince pies without being overpowering. This mincemeat recipe is definitely a great twist on a classic recipe that the whole family can get in the kitchen and help to make – and enjoy eating afterwards.

What to do with leftover mincemeat?

If you have homemade mincemeat left over in January, after Christmas, then this Christmas flapjack recipe is definitely one for you. It’s such a great recipe to use up a jar of mincemeat at any time of the year and you could even add some extra dried fruit too if you wanted.

We absolutely love Christmas and these Mince Pie Flapjacks are a great little treat that you can eat throughout the festive season and beyond. They keep well in an airtight container for a few days and if you find part way through the year that you have a jar of mincemeat left over then these mince meat flapjacks are a great way of using it up. Plus, the whole family love them.

Mince Pie Flapjacks Recipe

These Christmas flapjacks aren’t a healthy treat but you really cannot beat that wonderful taste of Christmas at any time of the year. They’re such an easy flapjack recipe and a fantastic British treat.

Sometimes we drizzle icing or melted chocolate over the top once these leftover mincemeat flapjacks have cooled after baking. This adds another level of flavour that we all really enjoy. We’re going to be trying mincemeat slices soon and apple and mincemeat flapjacks next with some dried apple chunks added to the mix.

Festive food really is a huge part of our Christmas at home, something we plan, create and enjoy throughout December. The children love nothing more than getting stuck in baking festive treats and it definitely makes a change from our usual slow cooker creations!

If our best flapjack recipe isn’t for you and you’re looking for other easy festive treats check out our mincemeat leftover recipes for mincemeat swirls, mince pie cookies, mincemeat fairy cakes, mince pie tarts, festive trifle and sponge topped mince pies. You can never have too many recipes using mincemeat in your recipe collection! When the time comes, have a wonderful Christmas – and make sure you eat all the Xmas food too.
