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!

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!

Rhubarb and Ginger Traybake 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.

I have grown rhubarb in the garden for years but for a long time I purely used it in rhubarb crumbles. Over recent years I’ve made so many bakes using rhubarb and our latest is a Rhubarb and Ginger Traybake.

Rhubarb and Ginger Traybake Recipe

What is a Rhubarb and Ginger Tray Bake?

This Rhubarb and Ginger Traybake is a really lovely recipe. The finished bake is light, moist and full of flavour plus, tray bakes are easy to slice and work well when baking for a lot of people. I usually make loaf cakes and did consider making a rhubarb and ginger loaf cake instead but I thought that a traybake would make this bake perfect for dessert – it works perfectly when serving this rhubarb cake with custard!

Rhubarb and Ginger Traybake Recipe

What do you need for this Rhubarb Ginger Cake?

For this simple bake you just need typical cake ingredients. Unsalted butter or margarine, sugar, flour and eggs. We use a light soft brown sugar for this bake but golden caster sugar would also work really well. We also use self raising flour but you could use plain flour and a little baking powder or baking soda if you wanted.

We then add fresh chopped rhubarb and ginger. You could use frozen rhubarb or drained tinned rhubarb if you wanted. Plus, we use a combination of ground ginger and glacé ginger to give a real depth of flavour. The glace ginger also adds a really lovely texture to the bake that works well with the rhubarb.

You could also use stem ginger but it would add a really strong flavour so make sure you grate it really finely so it spreads well throughout the bake.

This rhubarb ginger traybake is fantastic for dessert, a warming breakfast or as part of an afternoon tea spread. It’s a really versatile bake for literally any occasion.

    Sounds very good, is this using a full size tray/pan? 26”x 18”. Does the raw rhubarb not make the base soggy with the juices that come out?

      The tin we use is 32cm x 22cm. The bottom has never been siggy for us 🙂
