Solitaire or Halo: Comparing the Two Most Popular Ring SettingsPeninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop Photo by Sabrianna on Unsplash Solitaire and halo settings differ mainly in how they use surrounding stones: a solitaire showcases a single diamond, while a halo surrounds the centre stone with a ring of smaller diamonds to increase apparent size and sparkle. Solitaire suits buyers who want a clean, timeless look that puts the centre diamond entirely on display. Halo suits those who want more visible sparkle and a […]
A Little Slice of Calm at Robin LodgePeninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop Robin Lodge is one of those places that instantly softened the edges of the day. We arrived with bags, children, snacks, jumpers, all the usual chaos, and yet the moment we stepped inside it felt calm. A proper little hideaway tucked near Burgh Castle, just far enough from everything to feel like a break, but close enough (especially to an M&S food hall) that nothing was a faff. It was exactly […]
Kebab Festival At Colonel Saab September 2026!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop As much as Colonel Saab already feels like stepping into a story, visiting the Trafalgar Square branch for the kebab festival made it feel like Florence and I were walking into a celebration within a celebration.

Lots of firsts, which follow lots of lasts […]
Summer Holidays 2026 – Week Six (And A Half)!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop Oh goodness me, how did we reach the end of the summer holidays?! A week and a half for the last one too and it just all goes so quickly! We packed it all in, of course, with Rocknroll Circus over the weekend, days out despite the duffer weather, football, rugby and even managed a couple of nights away. And now… Oh no, back to school and roll on half […]
The Rock n Roll Circus: Norwich’s Summer Showstopper!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop There are summer days that just stamp themselves into your memory, aren’t there? The ones where the sun is out, the music is loud, and the whole family is riding that wave of excitement that only a proper festival can bring.

How to Stop Verrucas Spreading at the Swimming Pool: Pool Hygiene Tips for KidsPeninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop Between school lessons, weekend splash sessions and the odd soft play with a pool bolted on, our kids probably spend more hours barefoot on wet tiles than anywhere else. Which is great for their confidence in the water, and less great for the small, stubborn skin virus that loves exactly those conditions: the verruca. The good news is that a few simple habits make a […]
Summer Holidays 2026 – Week Five!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop This was the week we had been building up to for Florence’s GCSE’s. We took it slowly, a birthday party, some football, a day at Roarr! with Gram, niece Rose’s birthday and then we eased into Thursday to find out our big girl had the best results. An 8 in maths and 9s across the board for everything else. We are so proud and the cherry on the cake was her getting into […]
Florence Passed Her GCSE’s!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop There’s a train of thought that we shouldn’t boast about our children’s achievements but it’s a thought I’m afraid i can’t get on board with and if anyone doesn’t like it then I suggest they should look away now because I am absolutely bursting with pride for my biggest girl.
