With the newly installed decking around the Fogg Cabin, we’ve moved onto stage 2 of the enhancement. This afternoon saw Mrs Fogg and her willing slave, dig out more borders (oh god more bloody plants!) and setup an area just for the Fogg Fire Pit. Knackered but it looks really cool.

Almost 2 years since we built the Fogg Cabin, we have now decked it out. Next step is painting it
The Before
The After
It is nearly a year since I started a weekly session with a personal trainer. A lot changed during that time. I changed jobs, walked the Wolds Way, tried to eat healthier and started trying to ensure I looked after my health better.
It’s slow going and I probably don’t exercise enough still and slip from time to time, but I can feel a difference. I’m stronger physically and in better general health. And, I’m slowly toning up but doing it in a way that life remains fun. I eat, I drink you know…live.
Not really that frightening, But rather beautiful. We sat in the top field last night, beverage in hand until 11pm watching this amazing display and recording it in slo-mo to extract the best frames for you lovely peeps
The garden looks lovely and it’s all thanks to the skills and Percy Verance of Mrs Fogg. She has a vision for something wonderful and I just wanna cut grass and kill stuff. But with the little Mrs, “hex purr tease”, it is coming along very nicely including a veg plot with Tatties, Romanesque, Peas, Beetroot, Carrots and Garlic
Hats off to ya Mrs Fogg, my little green fingered genie.
We had a socially distant visit from the Folks and popped out for a drive to North Ferriby to look at plants after a recommendation for a local nursery.
Turns out North Ferriby is very old and picturesque. It’s on the banks of the Humber estuary with a cracking view of the Humber Bridge.
It is also noted apparently for being a Bronze Age port or landing site for some very unique boats covered in hide. Apparently the only other place with this design of boat is Egypt. Pretty cool eh?
There is some form of monument to them but we’ve not found that yet. Next time perhaps
The Solstice Before.
Witches use their multifunction brooms to tidy up the celebrations at FoggHenge. Actual visitors zero (well there is a silly lockdown in place).
Large gardens are definitely hard work. Constant grass cutting, weeding, edging, hedges. The list goes on
But so so worth it. The borders are colouring up now. The alliums are a first for me. Very pretty with their cornflower neighbours.
The veg patch is looking good. Peas, french beans, beetroot, carrots, potatoes and this year it’s Romanesque and Purple Sprouting Broccoli. Fingers crossed.
A long and tiring day where Mrs Fogg planted some more flower things in the garden as I replaced the garage floor protection (after 4 days of constant rain the original set of wooden beams let a stream into the garage). Fingers crossed this actually works, rubber strips and bonding glue.
Time for a BBQ as Miss Willow nicks one of the reclining chairs (tiring eating and sleeping don’t ya know). And Mrs Fogg heard an ice cream van, so it was time to hunt down the illusive Mister Whippy for a double 99 with sprinkles! Awesome
What to do with your boredom, set your house up like a socially distanced shop
