AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @p AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @pottersresortsfivelakes with @slwilson84. It was an action packed three nights with a full activity and entertainment programme, great food, lovely drinks and beautiful surroundings. 

The staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home and they ensure that everyone has the best time possible. I don’t think I stopped smiling all weekend.

The best thing about Potters holidays is that everything is included in the price you pay. Four meals a day, all your drinks - including wine, Prosecco, most spirits and soft drinks - great accommodation and so many activities. 

I’ll write a full review soon but for now here’s a little Reel of our weekend
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!

Polesden Lacey {National Trust}

A couple of weeks ago we went to Polesden Lacey National Trust for the first time. It’s not that far from us, and a National Trust property we hadn’t been to before, so we met Lauren and her little duo there on a weekend afternoon for a few hours and it really is such a lovely place for a day out in Surrey.

Polesden Lacey has got plenty of parking and is situated in the middle of nowhere – or so it feels like it. There are amazing views in every direction, so much green space to explore and it really does feel like a little gem in the middle of the great outdoors.

I think we visited Polesdon Lacey just before the snow arrived so it was freezing but we wrapped up warm and watched as the children ran here there and everywhere. There were hills to run down, woods to explore and so much green space to enjoy.

After we’d had an hour of adventuring we found the play park where the children could have stayed for hours. It was all made of wood and was one of the most natural play areas I have ever come across.

There were places to balance, things to climb and so much to explore that I really think the children could have happily played there all day. There was even a blackboard and giant chess set – it’s a really lovely addition to the National Trust property and something we really appreciated.

By the time we left the play area we’d missed the last entry to explore the Polesden Lacey house so instead we appreciated the view from outside and headed to the cafe for tea and cake instead.

Polesden Lacey had a couple of different cafes as well as a refreshment hut inside the grounds. The toilets were clean and a good size although positioned right at the start of the property – ones near the play area would have been appreciated.

We really enjoyed our trip to Polesden Lacey and I know we’ll be back before long to explore some more and see inside the house too – another really lovely use of our National Trust membership.

    This looks lovely, it’s going on the list of places to visit, I do love National Trust membership. It’s definitely the best investment we make each year.
