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.

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?

Ho Ho Crimbo A Go Go

Seasons greetings one and all, tis Christmas Take 2 (CT2) for the Foggies, Finks and Caddies. The new annual tradition where we get to celebrate Christmas all over again.

This years setting will be our new abode near a non flooding canal (some folk will never live that down eh caddie).

The plan then, all parties to arrive on Friday and potentially even a rare sighting of Mr & Mrs Claus all the way from the North Pole. The Finkettes are even going to decorate the tree when they arrive.

Saturday will see us playing silly games (Bartenga, Rapidough amongst others with Boys v Girls), followed by a slap up meal (involving the 14lb bad boy you see in the picture). Apparently we have one of them there veggies in our midst this weekend, challenge accepted, after all chicken is a veggie meal ain’t it?

Let’s not forget the falling down water to help the food go down.
