York gets invaded by the Marshmellow Man

It’s like a scene from 2006 into 2007, there we were in the idyllic wilds of Llangynog with no neighbours and cut off from the outside world by snow. Cut to 3 years later and here we are in East Yorkshire, cut off from the world by snow!
Grit vans, what the hell do they look like, council interest in the people that pay their wages, zilch. Yes 3 years on and the UK is incapable of providing the most basic of services to the masses, oh well tis Christmas in 5 sleeps, whoo yaaa.
We spent the afternoon over with Stu & Jen and a wonderful Sunday lunch, yum yum.
Merry Christmas one and all.
So here we are almost at the end of 2009 and the start of a new decade 2010. Mrs Foggy and I have celebrated 5 years of marriage this month and 9 years together.
It has been fantastic so far, we have bought a house together, built one, lived in 2 caravans, travelled the world together, lived in deepest darkest Wales and rented 3 houses. I can say that Mrs Fogg is my soul mate and the most amazing woman I have ever met.
Here’s to another 5 years of marriage.
So Mrs Foggy and I met up with the Bartys at Xscape in Milton Keynes to have a go at sledging, so all wrapped up and sweating buckets we stepped out into -5 degrees with a plastic board the size of an A4 sheet of paper to ride on. You gotta hike up 150ft in snow which is so tiring, then sit on your A4 sheet and hope for the best. It was so cool, and poor little Hazel somehow managed to get snow down her neck, hee hee.
Back to the Bartys for a curry and Trivial Pursuit, which Hazel won and Bel and I lost terribly at (Bel it was a Gargoyle).
Have a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic New Year and we hope to see you over to us soon.
Yes it’s C H R I S T M A S and to celebrate some rotund Coca Cola advertisement flying through the air with only a few slats of wood and Reindeer Poop to keep you afloat, the Foggy’s have their decorations up.
No seriously it’s CHRISTMAS and we Love it. Two trees, 440 twinkle lights, 200 baubles, 6 flashing balls, 20 garlands of tinsel, 2 climbing santas, 1 glowing snowman and one 3ft Santa. Yee Haa we loves it.
Merry Christmas everybody
Mr Spike got an early Christmas present today. Because he has felt so poorly recently we thought we’d treat him to a new cat bed. We couldn’t resist the penthouse suite! Within 10 minutes of it being in the lounge Mr Spike had moved in to survey the room from his new lofty position. Happy as a pig in mud he is!
We’d better not let on that we have another Christmas treat for him else it’ll go to his head.
Animals eh, they make us spoil them rotten.
Counting down to Christmas, 34 days to go

So it’s all Hallows Eve and time to celebrate the mother in-laws birthday.
Mrs Foggy spent the evening gutting this little bad boy in preparation for the kiddies after their sweets.
And of course since we live opposite a cemetry we need to ward off the evil spirits and just in case the mother in-law decides to fly in for a visit
So here is I managed to stay upright on ZED after a blowout on a roundabout.
RAC are being very helpful calling me every 20 mins to let me know that an engineer is not with me, guess I didn’t know that. So one hour and counting and the next estimate is another 45 mins.
Ah the joys of biking
Well our last night in Oia with a most spectacular sunset from our private cave at the Marizan Studios.
This has been a beautiful week with excellent company (me of course) and a nice unwind. It has been a lovely rest, a chance to recharge the batteries after some long weeks at work, and a chance to be very selfish and spend 24/7 with each other uninterrupted save for the odd waiter, sunset and next beer order!
Would we come back a third time? Probably not now. For 2 reasons, the over commercialisation of the place catering heavily to the US and also for the same sort if money we have spent here we could do three fun weeks travelling the States, or do 10 days in the Carribean, so on next to planning the next trip in 2010 suggestions on a postcard please.
Today was our last full day in Oia and we had the pleasure of watching the Judy’s on tour. The picture only shows the back of Judy number one’s head but oh my what a show they put on. It would appear that Judy one is waiting for her man to turn up, that she picked up on the tour. Judy two advised her to call her no good man for eating in to her time!
