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!

Pizza Pinwheels Recipe

The children absolutely love making Pizza Pinwheels with me. They are so simple to make, taste great and are lovely to look at as well. We have them for a simple lunch, as part of a buffet, as a party treat or even when we’re making a picnic and they’re pretty much one of the kids’ favourite foods.

Recipe: Pizza Pinwheels

How easy are Pizza Pinwheels to make?

These easy Cheese and Tomato Pinwheels – or Pizza Swirls as we call them too – are one of the simplest things to make in the kitchen. You can adapt the puff pastry swirls recipe to make any flavour pinwheels you like and this recipe will give you a basic cheese and tomato recipe that you really can’t go wrong with.

Can you vary the Pizza Rolls recipe?

You can add herbs to the tomato cheese swirls like fresh basil leaves or mixed herbs – although the children prefer them plain – and you could add things like pepperoni, ham, sundried tomatoes or any vegetables cut up small so they will roll nicely with the pastry and marinara sauce. If you do use sun dried tomatoes, make sure you cut them up into little pieces first. Fresh spinach works well too if your children don’t mind green things!

We love using cheddar cheese for these cheese and tomato swirls but mozzarella cheese or cream cheese also works really well in the cheese pinwheels. We’ve also used parmesan cheese in the past but we’ve learnt a little goes a long way! We basically use whatever we have in the fridge at the time and the pastry pinwheels always turn out perfectly.

If you’re looking for something delicious to enjoy in a lunchbox, as part of a party food buffet, out and about on a picnic or on a long journey in the car then these are a really great finger food option. just make sure you store them in an airtight container and they’ll last well for a few days. They are a fantastic comfort food.

Who doesn’t love pizza? Any variation on an easy pizza recipe will always be a winner with the whole family and it’s great to find something that they children don’t just love to eat but love to help make too. They both volunteer to make these puff pastry pinwheels regularly and even ask to make them sometimes too. Pizza pinwheels are a sure fire hit with children.

Instead of using shop bought puff pastry, you can make this with a sheet of pizza dough if you want a real authentic homemade pizza taste to the pinwheel pizzas. Just follow the instructions, roll dough out onto a lightly floured surface, top with the pizza sauce and toppings and adjust the cooking times as appropriate. Slice and serve!

Can you make these pinwheel roll ups in the airfryer?

I don’t own an air fryer but my lovely friend Katy has made Airfryer pizza rolls and she’s also created a dairy free cheese tomato pinwheels recipe that you might also like to try although that one is in the oven not the air fryer.

If you’re looking for other recipes to try here’s our Nutella Pinwheels, Easy Chocolate Biscuits and Chocolate Chip Fairy Cakes recipes. You can see all our recipes to date here.
