Just when you think you can’t get any more of it…

Just when you think you can’t get any more of it…

The dust returns. Our floor bloke came and started on the craters in the floor this week and put down a sealant to help us with the dust. For 48 hours we could breathe easily. And then today, Le Husband has started with a project – making us a dining table and benches. And I’ve […]

Lockdown 3.0

I wrote this in February 2021 I don’t mind telling you. I am not impressed with this lockdown. In 1.0 I was unemployed and therefore whilst I was anxious about employment, I could at least support the boys with their schooling. In lockdown 2.0 the boys went to school. In lockdown 3.0 I am home, […]

Behind the scenes…

Ooooh, this is interesting. I just published a post with an update on my relatively new job. And then I found this one. It’s interesting how we all tell ourselves different stories about the same situations, isn’t it? How we all see things so differently, at different times. At the time of drafting this, I […]

Teenage boys and deodorant. Will the twain ever meet?

Teenage boys and deodorant. Will the twain ever meet?

22nd July 2020 By CambridgeMummy Leave a Comment

As we are now in the zone of teenagers, I have instigated a new set of rules for the males of the household. This is hereafter referred to as our ‘Scratch and Sniff’ policy. Each Monday to Friday, you get up, clean your teeth, put deodorant and ‘smelly’ (aftershave) on and get dressed. You are […]

EF Students in Cambridge – our hall of fame…

EF Students in Cambridge – our hall of fame…

12th April 2020 By CambridgeMummy Leave a Comment

We’re really missing the fun of having our EF Students here with us in Cambridge. So I thought it would be good to make a hall of fame for the students who’ve lived with us over the last year. They’re not going to be in order of arrival / leaving – I’m going to find […]

Lockdown discoveries – what works and what doesn’t

Lockdown discoveries – what works and what doesn’t

9th April 2020 By CambridgeMummy Leave a Comment

We’ve done two weeks of homeschooling and one week of Easter holidays. Like everyone else, we’re adjusting and some things are working out well, whilst some other things aren’t working out quite so well. I thought it might be useful to share on both of them, so you can benefit from our experiences… What’s working […]

Me, myself and I – March 2020

29th March 2020 By CambridgeMummy 2 Comments

I’ve been struggling to write here. With all that’s happening in the world, I was as to what is and isn’t appropriate. But then I saw this and it’s made me smile, so I’ll put it here… << Just in case you’re here to secure my passwords, they are entirely unrelated to anything in this […]

Visiting the American War Cemetery in Cambridge

Visiting the American War Cemetery in Cambridge

21st February 2020 By CambridgeMummy Leave a Comment

  Despite having lived in Cambridge for 15 years, I’d never visited the American War Cemetery. I’d thought about it but felt a bit strange to be honest – was it appropriate to go and visit? And then I saw Nickie O’Hara had visited Auschwitz. The way she described her experience made me want to […]

Hosting international students in Cambridge

Hosting international students in Cambridge

18th February 2020 By CambridgeMummy Leave a Comment

Cambridge is an incredible city for families. It’s an even better place for tourists – and international students are a huge part of that community. We’ve been hosting international students in our Cambridge home for the last year so I thought it might be useful to do a Q & A round up of the […]

I first felt meh on Friday 27th December. I know this because it was the day between Christmas and New Year when I worked. I didn’t feel right at all, but felt I couldn’t not go in because it was the one day I was working! Since then I have lurched from one cold to […]
