Welcome to The BodyShop

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

Nice Pear

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!

Just Like Picasso

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

These Boots Were Made for Walking

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.

You Know You’re Getting Short

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!

Summer nights

Well it’s the end of our week off and what a great rest. Time to chill again with the fire pit and our new little fountain too.

Shame it’s a bit cold tonight and rather windy!

5 mile walk anyone?

We took the Harley today over to Scarborough to see The Folks. Yes we have a household bubble going on. So, what to do in Scarborough for the afternoon?? Ah a 5 mile walk to the sea and the cliffs and back again for tea.

Mr Fogg managed to find a falling down cliff with an old gun turret hanging over the edge.

Some lovely scenery of Cayton Bay, but no sun though.

The Finish Line

In 2018 we started our log cabin project after buying one at a garden show with The Caddies, while sipping some Champagne.

The Fogg Cabin was built in August 2018 and it’s taken 2 years to complete the project, along with a mammoth 6 hour painting session

And here you go

And now the finished product

Jack Oozi

Yey Mrs Fogg is another year younger and what better way to start the day than a bubble bath and a bubble breakfast
