Twas an horrendous wet Saturday, so Mrs Foggy took me to show me her new office and today was so nice we got up early (well 9ish), cleaned the car and my bike, before coming over to Haworth for a womble up Wuthering Heights.

And of course we had to start the 6 mile hike with food at the Old White Lion. We had a Christmas dinner here once when we lived in our caravan and if the folks cast their minds back we all walked back along the railway line and through the dark tunnel (someone had to jump from sleeper to sleeper because her legs are too short).

It was fantastic in this area and much more fun when we lived in our freezing cold caravan, nicely warmed with the proliferation of heaters purchased from Argos and the pound coin electric meter that kept spinning with all the heaters running. We slummed it in a caravan for 18months whilst we built Whitemoor Way, all of our stuff sat in storage for that time and it was a shame to leave it, with Dennis, Viv and their donkey called Jasper

Wow, it’s official, I’ve accepted a new role in Sheffield as Head of IT. It’s exciting stuff and I’m looking forward to a new challenge.

In the meantime I’m in true geek mode for our Spring Break (oh how Americanised am I, y’all?). I’m researching Moose Alley in northern Vermont, drive in movie theatres in teeny towns, rural b&bs in proper backwaters that look delightfully tranquil, and a border hop to Canada to visit Montreal.

Mr Fogg is already rolling his eyes at the thought of geeky tour guide!

But we have managed to sort the highlights of the trip, tickets to a Red Soxs game!!! AND, a two hour tour in Segways. I’m all excited!

Of Mothers Day!

Here we are, sat in our local farm shop (the Ballon Tree, needless plug) enjoy the mothers day special of Sunday roast and dessert with bottle of wine for £13 each, even though we ain’t mummies, much to the annoyance of the other eaters.

It was a wonderful meal with a very beautiful woman who I love dearly, she ain’t no mummy, but she is a MAMA MIA, yummy. Shame then that the desert looked like a doggy turd!

Happy mothers day to those that have them.

Mrs Foggy and I love Japan and the food especially. York used to have a nice little Japanese restaurant that cooked food to order. Unfortunately this place went belly up.

Happy to announce that this place has reopened now as Tokyo Joe’s and it is wonderful.

Stu and Jen make a point of eating here in May.

And then gets stuck in the mud!!!!!!

Yup our monthly delivery of food turn into a comedy sketch.

Opening the door expecting to hear the friendly footsteps of the click click knock knock brigade, all you could hear was wheels spinning in the mud and a little lady shouting “I’m STUCK”. The poor lady had decided to turn next the grave yard only to find that there is around 6inches of mud.

After an hour of trying to push and roping in the neighbours, it was well and truly buried, so we had to give up.

2 hours later the poor lady is still waiting for the RAC truck to turn up.

Tesco here we come.

Twas a cold wintery day as we ventured out along the pier in Bridlington.

Stu decided to walk along the pier wall when we captured this “special” photo.

Fantastic evening at the Elvis world championships, good food, good entertainment and excellent company.

So here we are, the Foggies and the Caddies at the Elvis Weekender in Bridlington. Apparently 30,000 people will descend on this town, however if we saw more than 20 people it would be a miracle.

What a hoot of a night watching the world semi finals for Elvis Impersonators.

So this is Mr Foggy, getting slightly mewwy. Mrs Fogg arranged a surprise evening away in a tiny village in the North Yorkshire moors (ah stay on the path and beware of a full moon did spring to mind, especially since we passed a Slaughtered Lamb free house).

We went to Hawnby, with an aptly named The Inn (imaginitive). The rooms were nicely appointed and there was a nice bottle of fizzy stuff waiting too. There was a 6 course meal (one of which did resemble Sheba cat food, as Mrs Fogg so loudly pointed out to all the other diners), but it was a fantastic evening and Mrs Foggy looked a million dollars (as she always does).

It was a wonderful surprise and after 10 years together it is wonderful to be in Lurve with such a wonderful woman.

Soppy bit over with now, back to the humdrum of work, but still got Elvis to look forward to (yes I know he’s dead).

So here is Mr & Mrs Foggy all ready for the Elvis World Championships (UK edition), to be held in Bridlington.

We are off to see 12 UK finalists strut their stuff and decided to go all set for the occasion as our own Foggy Presleys, Uh Ho thank you very much.

It will be a fantastic evening with Stu and Jen joining us for a chuckle.

Look for the pics on the blog.
