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!

Slow Cooked Lamb Hotpot 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.

We were recently asked to share a back to school recipe using Welsh Lamb. You see, Welsh Lamb is great brain food, has a really high iron content and is a good source of vitamin B12, making it perfect back to school meals.

We created a Lancashire Lamb Hotpot using Welsh Lamb and the kids loved it. It’s such a great comfort food dinner and one the whole family always enjoy. Plus, there really is nothing better than a hearty one pot meal and it’s fantastic to have over Christmas and the festive season too.

What lamb should I use for this easy lamb hotpot recipe?

We always use lamb shoulder for this hot pot recipe but you can use any lamb you like – especially if you have leftover roast lamb from a roast lamb Sunday dinner or something. Leftover lamb hotpot is such a great, hearty family meal.

You can use any lamb for this lamb hotpot slow cooker recipe. Rmp, chops, leg even lamb kidneys or minced lamb if you like you just have to make sure whatever lamb you use has the bones removed first.

If you use lamb mince, brown it first in a frying pan with a little melted butter or olive oil before draining off any extra fat and adding the lamb mixture into the hot pot recipe. Otherwise you could end up with a really greasy dish.

A traditional Lancashire hotpot is a really easy wholesome, filling and affordable meal that we love to make over the winter months. It’s the sort of meal that you can cook in bulk when you have people coming over and it makes great leftovers too! Serve simply with chunks of bread and add a splash of Worcestershire Sauce if you like too!

Can I make this into a beef hotpot instead?

The easiest way to turn this into a beef hotpot would be to substitute the lamb for beef and use stock made with beef stock cubes instead. You could also mix up the vegetables to suit the beef better – maybe using parsnips, turnip or swede, wholesome root vegetables, or some butternut squash instead of the mushrooms and peppers.

Can you really make hot pot in a slow cooker?

You really can make lamb hotpot in slow cookers! This Lancashire hotpot recipe is a great alternative to a hearty lamb stew and can also be made in the slow cooker. It’s actually one of our favourite slow cooker recipes with lamb. To create slow cooker lamb hot pot, just leave it to stew all day whilst you’re at work and it will be finished cooking, ready for the whole family as soon as you are ready to eat. You could also use beef if you wanted to just by substituting the lamb for beef and the lamb stock for beef stock.
