This morning I awoke to the whole area shrouded in fog that took ages to burn off, then the rest of the day it’s been bright sunshine. Cold, but bright.
I found myself driving along whistling ‘A Foggy Day In London Town’ (whistling it badly I would add). So I thought I’d share that tune, and a few others with you. I’ve included the more modern version by Michael Buble as well as a more traditional rendition by Louis Armstrong & Ella Fitzgerald.
So the trigger is…
