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 […]
The Start Of The Michelmas/Autumn Term 2026!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop Here were go again, another year flew by and we begin again, this time with a little girl not new to school anymore but somehow going into year one, a “baby boy” who grew so much over the summer it was almost visible as he did it, a young man going into his first proper GCSE year and a little lady starting sixth form. 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 […]
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. Not for the results she has achieved, although of course that brings me great pride too, but for how hard she has worked to get […]
Summer Holidays 2026 – Week Four!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop We started the week on holiday in Cornwall, Florence was at Boardmasters Festival and the rest of us camped in Polzeath. The weather was glorious and we made plans but didn’t keep them as the beach called and we just stayed on it for the whole time. We had the most lovely few days and the only problem was that it was just that… A few days, when it needed to be more! […]
Summer Holidays 2026 – Week Three! Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop Week Three headed up with a day watching NCFC for Jonny and Raffie, Florence was home for the first time in what seemed like ages and a chilled vibe was had by all with, of course, some family fun thrown in. A day in Southwold (would be rude not to) and some down time at home as well! Then it was a lot of time spent in preparation for the end of […]
Summer Holidays 2026 – Week Two!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop Second week began rather strangely with a first SOS from Florence at Latitude together say she knew she had tonsillitis but that the medics there couldn’t help. So we hot footed to Southwold (again, but no hardship) to take her to a prescribing pharmacist. Antibiotics prescribed and she was sent back to the festival knowing she’d feel a whole heap better within hours and then… We realised I had driven off without the […]
Summer Holidays 2026 – Week One!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop I don’t think we’ve ever been more ready for a holiday and it seemed to be crawling over the finish line for the little two to finally break up from school, but we got there! After the big kids had already been off for a week and a half, taking advantage of school’s sports camp for Jimmy and dancing days at Pineapple for Florence, and after a mammoth and epic weekend for our […]
The Science Museum – Summer Holidays 2026!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop The Science Museum has always been one of those places that feels woven into the fabric of my childhood thanks to my Grandmother who took me when I would stay with her in London, and now into my children’s too. Every visit carries a little nostalgia, a little discovery, and this latest trip, exploring the new space gallery was no exception. The old space exhibition had been there for around forty years, […]
