Welcome to the Foggs BBQ with the CaddyFrogs, the Finks and the Smiths.
Food, fun, drink and marshmallow roasting.
After a fun packed journey on the Belmond Pullman, time to shower and change before going to the Duchess Theatre to see “The Play That Went Wrong”, which is an awesomely funny farce about an AmDram club putting on a murder mystery, complete with collapsing sets, missing props and forgotten lines.
And finally here we are at 11pm enjoying a lobster, muscle and crab feast just off Covent Garden.
Happy Birthday Mrs Fogg. Time for bed now.
So part two of the Birthday. All aboard
And apparent point of note, the seat that Mrs Fogg occupiedgg (Coach Vera seat 21), was once occupied by Nelson Mandela as the conductor proudly announced he even has a signed menu by Mr Mandela, as quick as a flash Mrs Fogg said “I will happily sign my menu for you”. Quite funny and got everyone chuckling.
For Mrs Fogg’s birthday this year we are on a magical mystery tour
The only details provided were:
– smartly dressed
– we are going somewhere and doing something
– you will find out what it is when you get there
So part one is underway, sat on a train to that there NodnoL in first class (moan time, now that Virgin Stagecoach has lost the franchise, it falls back to public domain which means first class still costs as much, without any frills such as warm food, more than one cup of tea and only allowed one pastry per journey, Awesome)So the big smoke it is, but what is Mrs Fogg doing?
Boo, time to go home. Last womble around the citadel. Time to restick the yellow circles to the castle after a windy night
What’s that in the background, Peter Parker visits the region
And of course a nice healthy lunch
When it’s hot and you’re pooped after a walk and then a dip in a freezing cold pool
Of course, snooze and catch some flies!
So they decided to put yellow sticky tape all over the castle, which is a little strange as you can see. Apparently this is part of an art installation
But when viewed from the right spot it produces .a collection of concentric and eccentric circles
Little strange and funky.
A day of relaxation in the unrelenting sun, what else to do but eat, drink and chill after a Womble around the city.Lunch courtesy of mussels
Followed by a six course tasting menu accompanied by our Sommelier’s choice of wines. Now this is the mini vat that was brought out purely for the folks
After which Casper decided to join us for some fun
And of course the very elegant Mrs Fogg (accompanied by Shrek)
A wonderful evening enjoying some unusual food on a beautiful sunset evening
And today we are so full we couldn’t even eat a wafer thin mint
Drinks on the terrace
Cassoulet in the citadel
And chillin in the perfectly manicured gardens 
An awesome start, nice flight (despite the cattle air with one of the no frills unless you pay airlines and the scrum for your luggage with the lazy ass baggage handlers. The hotel is awesome and the wine tasting with our dedicated Sommelier, followed by food is just so nice
