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!

Brio Road and Rail Travel Set Review

Little Man loves his wooden train set and it’s without a doubt his most played with toy. But, it’s also a toy that can be added to over the months and years to increase the fun that can be had. Brio sent Little Man their Rail and Road Travel Set to add to his wooden train collection and he insisted on playing with it immediately.

Review: Brio Road and Rail Travel Set

The great things about the Brio Road and Rail Travel Set is that, unlike other train sets this one incorporates roads too. This was eye opening for Little Man as, for the first time, he was able to use both his trains and cars at the same time.

Review: Brio Road and Rail Travel Set

The Road and Rail Travel Set comes with enough track and road to create a good size play area and Little Man was able to put the pieces together by himself with ease. He loved how the road could cross the rails with level crossings that he was able to open and close by himself.

The set also comes with a three section train which open up to allow passengers and luggage to be carried along. There’s also a car and a bus – which can also seat a person inside. The set comes with a train driver and two other people as well as a suitcase, bus stop and a road sign.

Little Man and LP love playing with the Road and Rail Travel Set. It’s the perfect size to play with together and the plastic elements of the set make it a lot more interactive than a typical completely wooden train set and the children really loved opening the train carriages to put people in and working the level crossings.

The whole Road and Rail Travel Set is well made, durable and just so much fun. The train looks like a DLR train that we often go on in London and is different to Little Man’s other, more traditional trains. This set is so modern but also has a timeless appeal and works well alongside his existing wooden train collection.

I think the Road and Rail Travel Set would be a great investment for any child that loves trains or cars. It would be a great addition to any existing wooden train set collection but would be just as good as a starter set. Another great train set from Brio.

The Brio Road and Rail Travel Set has an RRP of £44.99

    Fabulous, my two would love this. They have a little train set that they don’t play with enough actually, we might get it out this weekend.
