BBQ Oh Yes

20130420-194306.jpg

The First BBQ of 2013, and spring and our new house. Yum Yum, pork chops, fillet and burnt veg, what more could you want to welcome in the summer?

You’ll be interested (or maybe not) that Mrs Fogg is now fully kitted up for our tour of Route66 (helmet, boots, jacket gloves and bike jeans), oh all those sights she won’t see as I refuse to stop at historic crap! (Let’s be honest history and the US go back about a minute).

I had the Hog out yesterday and boy did it feel good with the wind in my errr scalp!

We Went APE

Hurrah, after almost 18 months I finally used my Christmas voucher from 2011 at Go Ape and my was that fun. After a 15 minute lesson on how to not die you are left to tackle 6 tree climb, cargo nets, Tarzan swings and zip wires.

A fun packed 3 hours and even more amazing was Mrs Fogg doing the lot and not wimping out even in the cargo nets.

If you get the chance, you really should Go Ape.

The Queen’s Speech 2013

20130413-201414.jpg

The moment you have all been waiting for is here, the Queen’s speech 2013 is finally here from her roadshow Up t’ North to visit the common folks. To make it a little easier for those of us who don’t have super fast broadband, slow broadband or even a sniff of what broadband should be like we have had to cut, edit, trim and postage stamp this monumental event. Please be patient for a world class performance from Mrs Fink with a slightly witty script from the Hogg Meister Mr Fogg.

Please enjoy what was simply a well planned and perfectly executed speech by Her Maj on the Christmas Take 2.

To vie this gem go and look at the video gallery form OurOneBigAdventure.com

And look for the Queen’s Speech 2013 Christmas Take 2

Enjoy!

5 to 66

Strange Title I know but it is only 5 weeks to Route66, oh my gosh. It has been decided that Mrs Fogg will be putting her life in my hands, by being a pillion biker chic (life insurance is all updated now).

Mrs Fogg took a white knuckle ride on the back of my hog (apparently I needed an extra 6psi to accommodate her, somehow I was expecting more). So now we need to kit the biker babe out with a Harley helmet, jacket, boots and gloves.

Picture the scene, me in the front, Mrs Foggy sat in the arm chair at the back punching me to tell me there is something historic and lovelly to look at, me sat there grinning to myself pretending that I haven’t heard her. Ah bliss.

Bubo Scandiacus

For the last two nights driving home up the country lane, this amazing site has been flying alongside my car for half a mile.

Truly amazing site to behold.

Oh Yes It’s the Granny Web

Looks like the SAGA brigade are taking over the interwebnet thingy. Pretty soon you won’t hear about Twotter, instead it will NansChatta where you can get all the gossip about Mrs Brady at no 43 and how many pints the Smith family have delivered.

Mystery of the Trapeze Trees

image
When we lived here a year ago we always wondered why someone had tied two 60ft trees together with wire, to stop them braking, modern art, trapeze attempt? None of the above actually the guy did it to prove he could, makes sense to me too.

If everything in life was structured then where would be the fun?

How to look Silly

Picture the scene, Christmas presents, Brian the Turkey all scoffed, watched the awesome Queenie do her speech and then you decide to put on a elephant snout to play a game.

Grown ups eh!

Welcome to the Christmas Crew

image
Well that’s Christmas over for another year (or 8 months depending which you are looking at).

Tree building from the Finkettes, fun and laughter from all, an end to Brian the 14lb turkey (and some vegetarian fodder for the grass eater) and we even instructed the weather to stay warm and sunny, with a nice post grub womble by the canal, garden sitting and Plop Trumps (where it appears Penguins do rock).

Let’s also not forget her maj for an impromptu “Queenies Roadshow”, which left most with aching jaws.

To one and all it’s a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Now where shall we host the next CT2?
