AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @p AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @pottersresortsfivelakes with @slwilson84. It was an action packed three nights with a full activity and entertainment programme, great food, lovely drinks and beautiful surroundings. 

The staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home and they ensure that everyone has the best time possible. I don’t think I stopped smiling all weekend.

The best thing about Potters holidays is that everything is included in the price you pay. Four meals a day, all your drinks - including wine, Prosecco, most spirits and soft drinks - great accommodation and so many activities. 

I’ll write a full review soon but for now here’s a little Reel of our weekend
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!

Victoria Park, London – Review

A couple of weekends ago we had a mammoth drive through London to go to a blog event in Victoria Park. It was somewhere I hadn’t been before but as soon as I got there I loved it and wished we lived closer. It looks like a great place for a family day out in London.

Victoria Park is in the Tower Hamlets borough of London, it’s close to the city centre and is such a vast open space – I wasn’t expecting it to be so big. Most of the park is wide sections of grass and trees but it also has good paths through it for pushing a pushchair or riding a bike and is pretty much pedestrianised to make it safe for children too.

The park has a lot of water features like the Burdett Coutts fountain, Victoria Park lakes, bridges and even a canal – or river – I’m not sure. There’s also plenty of places for children to play and it’s all really well maintained with great quality play equipment and everything the children would need to keep them entertained.

There are numerous places to eat and lots of things to look at too – LP’s favourite was this gazebo in the center with water features around it and a bandstand opposite. I think she would have stayed here all day!

The park isn’t great for driving too as Monday to Saturday there are a lot of parking restrictions but it’s easily accessible by public transport. The park is also split into two halves – an east and west park – with lots to do on either side.

If you’re looking for a new park to visit in London take a trip to Victoria Park – a great place for a picnic, a play or a bike ride. You can find more free kids park in London here.

    Love this, I’m a bit of London park addict and it’s why I’ve enjoyed life more since I moved from West to SE London since there are lot more green spaces. Victoria Park is lovely, looks like you all had a great time x

    Wow, it does look like a good spot for a day out. The kids look like they had a blast exploring, and it looks like you had the place to yourselves. I will add it to my (ever growing) list of places for us to visit when we get a spare day for an adventure. x

    It looks like a really fun day out, I love it when play equipment looks more natural than the bright coloured ones. There looks like there’s lots of space to run about there. x

    Looks like such a great park, I love it when you find places with so much to do and when they are big there is so much to explore. Your little ones looked like they loved it! xx
