End of an era

27th May 2022 Smelly Socks and Garden Peas

Well that's it. Large boy has had his last meeting at Cubs. It's been a strange experience for him (not that he realises this). He joined in February 2020, made his promise and promptly went into lockdown. Our Cubs pack didn't do anything virtually for a long time, then they took part in weekly Zoom… Continue reading End of an era

At Easter (2022), we spent a week exploring Kent. Here's a quick round up of our favourite things that you should do if you visit the "garden of England". 1. Explore a seaside town Kent has a lot of coastline, it's all sticky outy at the East end of the the South coast of the… Continue reading 7 Things to do in Kent

Kids TBR piles

20th May 2022 Smelly Socks and Garden Peas

We do a monthly reading round up, but what's in the kids' TBR piles at the moment? Bearing in mind that some of the books in these piles have been there for quite a while, there still quite tall. Mine is less substantial and, besides, mostly on my Kindle. There's no pretending we aren't all… Continue reading Kids TBR piles

Year 2 SATs

17th May 2022 Smelly Socks and Garden Peas

Small boy, mainly obliviously, is doing his year 2 SATs at the moment. I'm rather sad for him. Not because of the testing, not because he doesn't enjoy them. But because he's only "mainly oblivious". When large boy did his, we didn't even have any idea. School made so little fuss about it that the… Continue reading Year 2 SATs

My running playlist 2

11th May 202213th May 2022 Smelly Socks and Garden Peas

I haven't blogged about running for a while. There's a reason for that, as I've mentioned on my Instagram feed lately. #smellysockscantrunanymore I had a dreadful cold in February - himself had COVID, I was testing daily and negative throughout. One false negative I might understand, but not 7 in a row while I felt… Continue reading My running playlist 2

I’m going to work

8th May 202210th May 2022 Smelly Socks and Garden Peas

Not that interesting? Well, I'm actually going to work at work. In the office. In Cambridge, 150+ miles away. For the first time since November 2019! (I think, I can't really remember) I'm both excited and kind of anxious. I can't wait to see everyone, and the drive doesn't worry me. But, I have no… Continue reading I’m going to work

What happens on Cub camp

6th May 202225th May 2022 Smelly Socks and Garden Peas

I was a Girl Guide and a Brownie before that, then a Young Leader. Guiding and Scouting were a big part of my growing up, I don't think I realised it at the time or really even thought about it until I had kids. I certainly didn't realise how it affected me until quite recently;… Continue reading What happens on Cub camp
