Sat on the edge of the Loch in Mabel, time to empty the poop cassette, boy do I get all the fun jobs!
Been tiddling down all night long, but we have heating, cooking facilities, a satellite TV (yup) and wine. Awesome break with my little planning monkey
A super run in Mabel the Moo camper van of 106 miles being one of those peeps that hold up a massive queue of traffic as we do 40mph up through the mountains past Loch Lomond, Loch Tulla and then to Glencoe, our rest stop for 2 days
Well a restless night in Carlisle but nice evening meal. Awesome brekky and now on the way after a womble round a garden centre Christmas display
And of course the border
Not forgetting of course our ever so helpful midge tracker utility Smidge Up!
Of our holiday. Bliss!
It’s here, it’s built and it’s now painted and the first phase electrics are in. Next up, flooring, insulation and cladding and then the second stage electrics.
Welcome to the Fogg’s BodyShop
So a year in the making, a sharp frost and strong winds has left Mrs Fogg with the fruit of her labour, one solitary pear. With cream after our tea!
We are firmly in our grey period. After a tiring Sunday cutting all the hedges and deflowering borders, Monday was spent painting the veranda, Mrs Fogg on the “delicate, you need a trained eye to not hit the wall, Perspex, window, patio, cars” (how well did that work) and yours truly on the splash it on pillars.
End result, two very tired donkeys and a nice look to spruce up the veranda
And pretty much on their own! Yes it is the end of an era, these shoes have hiked the US, down the Grand Canyon 3 times, across Europe, up Mont Blanc, across Scotland and Wales. But now it’s time to retire them after more than 16years, they wreak beyond belief. For the last 8 years I have used them in the garden, but they really really do walk on their own
Goodbye my stinky old friends.
When the dandelions are getting taller than you
Ok so it is actually Mrs Fogg’s sunflowers currently racking in at a superb 6ft 3in and still no sign of stopping. And Jack had to sell his cow for his beanstalks!
