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.

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!

Next Clearance Store (Farnborough Gate)

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.

I wrote recently that a new Next flagship store had opened near us in Camberley. Up until this department store opened we had two other local stores. There was Next Camberley in the town centre and one at Farnborough Gate Retail Park. As soon as the new Camberley store opened, the Farnborough Gate store closed for refurbishment… To open as a Clearance store!

Now, anyone that knows me and follows this blog knows that I love a bargain. I’m familiar with the Next Clearance stores from shopping at various Outlet Centres across the country. But to have one locally, and not in an Outlet Centre seemed like quite a novelty.

With this in mind, we went for a visit last week and I was in bargain heaven!

What should you expect from Next Clearance Stores?

We’ve all been there at some point. You see something you love in a shop and for whatever reason you don’t buy it. Can’t get it in your size, haven’t got the money or just forget. The shop then has a Next sale, and the item you’ve been lusting after sells out instantly. You just cannot get it anywhere! Well, that is where Next Clearance is amazing!

As soon as sales finish in store all the leftover stock gets shipped to the Clearance stores as well as in store returns. Admittedly, these Next outlet stores are a bit of a jumble sale, you need to enjoy a rummage! But you can find things that you didn’t get around to buying for literally a fraction of the price – there is so much to save.

What can you buy from Next Clearance stores?

On our visit we bought a lot of clothes for Little Man. Outfits for Christmas, a Superman onesie and a hat gloves and scarf set (RRP £10 reduced to £1!) amongst other things. In the end we spent in the region of £65 but had £180 worth of clothing! This included the Elf Outfit below for Little Man to relax in around Xmas, reduced to £4!

As well as the clearance clothes there is also a lot of Special Purchase clothing. The Next SP range looks like a normal Next store setup but with everyday low prices – no sale labels here! It’s still the quality and style you’re used to from Next but with the Next Special Purchase lower price tag. There isn’t the huge variety in high street Next stores.

If you have a Next Clearance store near you then it’s definitely worth the visit. Have a rummage, find a bargain and go home happy! Plus, Next have a permanent Clearance section on their website too that I pretty much live in.

For reference, you can find the Next Clearance store address at Blackwater Valley Retail Park Farnborough 1A Farnborough Rd, Farnborough GU14 8BL.The Next Clearance Farnborough Gate opening times are over on their website but it opens at 9:30am every day – and 11am on Sundays. You can see all Next clearance stores locations here – many of which are in shopping centres. All Next Clearance opening hours are on their website.
