Top 10 teen holiday observations

Posted on August 24, 2022 by thepogblog

We did it!  We did a week away in France – including a 600 mile drive there and 600 miles back – and nobody died.  (And I didn’t get refused entry in or out with my dodgy passport photo!) So, … Continue reading →

Holiday planning

Posted on July 27, 2022 by thepogblog

OK, so I might be Mrs R now <eeek!>, but rather than marrying into the sensibleness and grown up-ness I thought I had, it seems I might have just dragged Himself deeper into the world of Pog. Let me tell … Continue reading →

Stuck in No Man’s Land

Posted on July 20, 2022 by thepogblog

I mentioned the slight Pog shaped incident on the very last leg of an amazing honeymoon in a previous post, but forgot to add the story here. My passport is seven years old and I do look quite different in … Continue reading →

Posted on September 25, 2017 by thepogblog

I’m back from a week (mostly) in the sun.   Time away from the laptop with family and Himself on the tiny Greek island that I love was fantabulous.  Despite having been there quite a few times, I got to … Continue reading →

Posted on September 15, 2017 by thepogblog

My Pog and himself have just informed me they are leaving me once again for ‘a bit of sun’.  I got in the suitcase but they said I wouldn’t like it. I am unimpressed. So I propose instead we have … Continue reading →

Posted on August 29, 2017 by thepogblog

Idyllic Ibiza. Mostly without, you know: people.

Posted on July 10, 2017 by thepogblog

A quiet holiday with no Pog moments is what I desperately wanted this year after the mishaps of the last few.  Especially as I quite liked the idea of Himself thinking I am a grown up, just occasionally, and this … Continue reading →
