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, […]
Shakespeare’s Globe Tour – Summer Holidays 2026!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre has that magical ability to make history feel alive, and our 50‑minute tour did exactly that. It was interesting, entertaining, and unexpectedly immersive from the moment we stepped inside. Raffie, my eight year old, was the one who’d asked to go fresh from studying a bit of Shakespeare at school; and I’ll admit I’d quietly wondered whether the reality might bore him. But no! He was utterly captivated, saying […]
The Boardroom And Eric’s Pizza At Yalm – Norwich!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop The brilliantly vibrant food hall in the heart of Norwich, Yalm, is the place you can go as a group, but order individually from whichever restaurant you love most? We always have a mixture because we can never quite bring ourselves to only plump for one thing, but one of our family staples when we visit is Eric’s pizza. We love it so much, one time I went without the […]
Summer/Trinity Term 2026! Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop This was the big one for Florence, GCSEs which she worked so hard for and as we headed into the end of the academic year we did so with sunshine on hand which always makes everything feel so much better. Exams, fun with friends, parties, the world cup, trips to London, rugby, cricket, football, swimming, dancing, a mini break away at our lovely Suffolk Yurts, sports days, performances with musicals and school gala! So many […]
Dearest Jimmy – You Are Fourteen! Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop Dearest Jimmy, You are fourteen years old and boy, you’re a lovely one! Fourteen years of the cheekiest, silliest, smartest, funniest, most loveable and talented puppy dog that you are and it barely seems possible that it’s been that long si ce you arrived, like a little super hero with your fist up (and back to back just to be a little bit awkward as always) in the living room just after […]
Easter Holidays 2026 – Week 2 (and 3)!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop After the indulgences of the Easter weekend we rolled into week 2 (and 3, because the little two had an extra day and the big kids had a whole extra week) with plans for more of everything! More days out, more chocolate, more fun with friends and family… We had a couple of days in London staying at a Premier Inn for most of us while Florence stayed with her London […]
Easter Holidays 2026 – Week 2!Peninsulacommunityhealth Bigbicepsshop Week one of the holidays was spent trying to be slow but failing (happily) into days out, seeing friends, food, London, Theatre trips, cinema visits, cooking and then the big Easter weekend which if I’m honest, I probably did go over the top on with the chocolates and presents but you know what?! They are only little once right and I love it! We all had mega fun and now onto week two!
