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!

Homemade Baked Scotch Eggs 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.

This is a recipe that reminds me of my childhood – My Mum would make scotch eggs every so often and they were the loveliest treat and something I always looked forward to. These Homemade Baked Scotch Eggs are great served with salad and potatoes or as a ‘junk’ dinner with chips and beans. You could even have them for breakfast!

Homemade Baked Scotch Eggs

We’ll always make extra scotch eggs to have enough for lunchboxes or picnics. They are such a treat, so indulgent and yet not that unhealthy really either. Covered in bread crumbs they retain moisture well and keep nicely in an airtight container for a couple of days once cooked.

How to make scotch eggs

I’ve always found scotch eggs to be quite a faff to make so we always make as many as possible in one batch to really make it worth our while. We oven bake scotch eggs at home but you can have them deep fried and they might also work in an airfryer too. If you try that please do report back and let me know how they turned out.

You can use any kind of eggs and any kind of sausage meat for this recipe but if the eggs are quite big you will need to increase the amount of sausage meat you use from the 100g per egg that we use at home.

These scotch eggs aren’t gastro pub quality. They’re not melt in the middle ones you’d get in a fancy restaurant. They’re just honest, home cooked food and perfect for us.

If you’d like to mix this recipe up a little you can always add flavourings to the sausage meat like spices or herbs to vary the flavour. You could even try using ground beef or turkey mince for this too. I just love a traditional scotch egg so we go with a standard pork sausage when we’re making them.

Here’s our pretty traditional scotch egg recipe:

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 600 g sausage meat
  • breadcrumbs

Instructions

  • Boil 6 eggs until hard boiled – I usually boil them and forget about them for a while! Plunge them into cold water if you’re in a rush.
  • Remove the boiled eggs from their shells and preheat oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6
  • Divide the sausage meat into 6 even portions. Flatten one portion in the palm of your hand and wrap an egg in it, smoothing over any joins. Repeat with all the cooked eggs.
  • Pour breadcrumbs onto a plate and roll each covered egg in them until coated. Repeat until each egg is covered.
  • Place eggs on a grill tray (This lets the fat come out of the eggs whilst cooking without the eggs sitting in it) and cook for 40 minutes, turning halfway through.
