We are back ….

… and tanned … and feeling gooood after our short break in the sunshine!

When we got back to the airport last week, Woo was met by our best friend and a Ford. Woo isn’t complaining but Woo still would’ve liked the treatment that a Tibetan Mastiff received when he arrived at Xi’an airport in China last Wednesday! He was met by 30 luxury cars and got a bow to wear … why didn’t Woo get a bow? It’s in Woo red!!! Woo wants a bow …..

Anyway, let me just stress again … a convoy of 30 black Mercedes-Benz cars, led by two sports utility vehicles, drove to the airport to pick up dog and owner AND … a committee of dog-lovers met them holding up a long red banner welcoming the mastiff to Xi’an.

Where was Woo’s committee of coffee lovers?!!!!!! 🙂

Woo doesn’t mind really, because we know they are all going to be with us on SEPTEMBER 25TH … to raise money for Macmillan and have a fantastic time as part of the World’s biggest coffee morning!

12 days and counting ….. 🙂

SPLAT! ARGGGH! SPLAT!

There was a massive food fight last week … nah, not at Woo! We value our panini very highly and appreciate every last mouthful! 🙂 Anyway … we couldn’t get tens of thousands of people in our lovely coffee shop … as much as we’d like to … but that’s how many people hurled tonnes of ripe tomatoes at each other, in an annual food fight that leaves the eastern Spanish town of Bunol covered in red juice, pulp and all things tomatoey!!

Oooooooh!!!

More than 40,000 people, including many visitors from Britain, Austraila and the United States, took part in the fight known as the “Tomatina”. It’s now in its 64th year!

The town council provided the fighters with over 100 tonnes of tomatoes. The battle lasted about one hour and although Woo is a lover not a fighter, as you can see (and as reports confirmed) … “Many men were shirtless”  so Woo approves!!! Tomatina’s for all! Tomatina’s for all!!

After the battle,  local residents and workers used giant hoses to clear the walls and streets of the tomato pulp in just half an hour ….. while the participants headed to a nearby river. Temporary showers were set up and allegedly, much Woo was drunk!!! 🙂

Remember remember the 25th of September!!!

Ha ha ha ha HA HA HA …..

The funniest joke at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival according to voters and comedy channel Dave is (drum roll) …

“Hedgehogs. Why can’t they just share the hedge?”

The one-liner came from London comic Dan Antopolski, who is known for his surreal stand up routines and love of Woo coffee (I made that bit up).

Dan said: “Although I have won things before at the Fringe, this definitely means the most to me, and that it should unite my loves of hedgehogs, comedy and Dave makes this prize very special.”

He also, allegedly, said that the only love of his life the joke left out was Woo Coffee ……

Don’t worry Dan … you can have a free latte if you tell us the hedgehog joke when you visit!!!

P.S. 25th September at a WOO near you! (If you live in the Wooburn Green area) 🙂
