So we've arrived at the grey middle of September. I can hardly believe that it's over a month since we returned from our long awaited holiday in France. We took all the stuff, and didn't need some of it. We had an amazing time though. I ate all the cheese and patisseries, sat in the… Continue reading Looking back on our holiday
It feels like we're only just back from our France holiday and we've packed up again, loaded the car, strapped on the bikes and set off to Silverstone. I'm going to semi-live report on our progress and antics throughout the weekend. We were last here for the WEC in 2019. How much has happened since… Continue reading Silverstone Classic 2022
Before we went on holiday (for lots of pictures, visit #smellysocksgoestofrance), I wrote a list of everything essential to take (and added the stuff we forgot). We had an absolutely bloody brilliant time. This was the holiday we'd waited three years for. However, amongst the very many things we took, we did not need some… Continue reading Stuff we didn’t need on holiday
I was going to at least do my July reading post today. But, you know what, holidays are for doing nothing. I'll be posting on Instagram regularly if you want to see what we're up to. Otherwise, I'll be back 19th August. Instagram.com/andsmellysocks Catch you on the flipside folks.
We're off next weekend, for our first big holiday since 2019. We love a Eurocamp caravan, even doing our first fly-drive at the beginning of June. Every time we go, I think of things we didn't take. So, I'm going to write a list of things I'm packing in case it's useful to anyone else… Continue reading What to pack for a Eurocamp holiday
The Le Mans 24 hours race takes place at the Circuit de la Sarthe this weekend (11-12 June 2022). The experience watching from home is rather odd - no crowds, no smoke from the campsite barbecues wafting around, and of course the whole atmosphere is missing. We managed to get invested in 2020 and last… Continue reading Le Mans 24 Hours 2022: Our Picks
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
This is just a bit of a round up post as I return to the blog after a wonderful, chilled out Easter break for 2022. Friday 8th April The boys and I had a busy day. First off large boy needed new school shoes, PE trainers and a summer waterproof. So we went to a… Continue reading Our Easter Break
I'm having one of those days or weeks where there are just too many things going on. I knew what I was going to write a post about, but here I am at 5.30pm the day before publishing and I haven't started it. I refuse to let the blog be one more pressure on me.… Continue reading Overwhelmed
A year ago I wrote a post looking towards (not forwards to) 2021. And, well, 2020 had certainly been a rollercoaster but it wasn't as painful as 2019 was for us. For 2021, I knew not to make resolutions or think about specific goals. Instead there were some general things I wanted from 2021, and… Continue reading Reflecting on 2021
