They only synchronise across my LAN, when I get home (for example).

Yes, sometimes I'm out with my laptop in places where internet is
difficult or impossible.

That's partly it, but since Google Calendar no longer offers offline
working (which it used to via Chromium) it's even less attractive.

I use syncthing. So, if my laptop has had its calendar changed when
out/offline somewhere as soon as I get back to my LAN it synchronises
the .ics file (or whatever the calendar is kept in) with my desktop
machine. This is specifically why gnome-calendar doesn't work because
evolution-data-server is between gnome-calendar and the actual .ics
file and will screw up file times etc.
