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!

Squeezy Cheese and Ham Primula Pasta Recipe

We were recently sent some tubes of Primula Kids Mild Squeezy Cheese and we’ve had great fun using it for all the recipes we can think of. Squeezy Cheese sandwiches and cheese squeezed onto ritz crackers are the everyday options but one clear favourite was my Squeezy Cheese and Ham Primula Pasta.

Both children cleared their plates and I had it too. This will be a regular theme in our house, especially when Dave’s working as it’s a quick and easy dinner for the kids and I.

Is Primula Cheese healthy?

Primula Cheese spread is quite a low fat food option to include in cooking and is great if you’re following a Weight Watchers or Slimming World plan. We use it a lot as it is great for family meals and a lovely part of a healthy balanced diet.

If you’re vegetarian you could add tomatoes or other vegetables instead of the ham to this cheesy pasta dish or if you eat meat but want a bit of variety you could make a Primula prawn pasta or a chicken pasta instead. You could even just stir in some garlic powder to make a bowl of cheesy garlic pasta goodness!

Also, you can use bacon instead of ham in this recipe. Just brown it off in a frying pan or under the grill and leave to cool a little before adding to the mix. This is a great meal for making with whatever you have in the fridge at the time and it can be served simply with garlic bread or on it’s own.

For this recipe we use any pasta shapes we have to hand but you could use macaroni for a simple macaroni cheese or even spaghetti for a bit of a carbonara style dish. It’s such a versatile dish and often the only recipe we need for the children!

Can you use an alternative to Primula Cheese in this recipe?

If you don’t have any Primula products you can always use other soft cheese or creamy cheese spreads like Laughing Cow, Dairylea or Cathedral City Spreadable but Primula easy squeeze cheese is our favourite light cheese spread for this recipe. There really is no Primula Cheese substitute for us but you can still make a really nice cheese and ham pasta with other soft cheeses.

For more variety you could try making this into a pasta bake. Preheat oven to 200C, cook as per the instructions below, sprinkle with cheese and bake in an oven proof dish for 25 minutes until bubbling, perfectly golden brown and delicious!

    Hi,
    I have some Italian students so am eager to try this but would really like to do it in their lunch boxes.
    Have you tried it as a cold option?

      Yes – it’s lovely cold as well. We make it hot and then just leave it to cool before putting it in lunch boxes.
