Oh Yes it’s HallowScream time again. 5 awesome horror houses and one screaming Mrs Fogg

It only took us 3 hours to build and not a single cross word between us and now we have our own Multigym

Followed by a morning in the rain and a visit to the Lego store.

Time to leave London and head home. Perhaps via a bookshop…..

But now we have two hours on the train with a group of 4 pretend posh muppets getting slowly drunk and talking about the most inane and boring tripe going (how to squeeze whiteheads before they become blackheads, how my dog likes to chew things, Gerald remember Gerald, I have to get my hairdresser to come out I used to go to west row but my water is rubbish, we have a barn, blah blah blah).

All packed and ready to check-out of the hotel, but rather than lug our bags across NodNol, Mrs Fogg declares we should leave them in the room after spotting the check-out time on the card says ten past one since we checked in at ten past twelve. So she called reception just to confirm and a rather smug receptionist had to point out that this is the departure date, not the time, 13.10 being the 13th of October and not the time.

Oh boy!

It’s almost 2 years since we moved into the “Field with a House” and boy have we done a lot to it. This week managed to get the patio and field stairs replaced, remembering of course that the previous owners actually had the patio laid upside down (no idea why), all of the steps were starting to crack and tons of awful pea gravel.

So weeks of disruption and it’s done, the right way up

The before

The Inbetween

And The After

Oh and we’ve also chopped down the bush at the top and put a fence in.

And that’s that for year 2!

A weekend in that there NodNol to see Noises Off. I saw this stage show some 27 years ago and it has not aged at all, it is laugh out loud funny and so worth seeing
