I pack lots of fruit and nibbles and often take sandwiches. Service stations are real cash traps - and the ferry too.... plus I'm gluten free which is a real pain when you're looking for a quick decent meal... we do the same as Kate and go to Morrison's (or Tesco) where the meals are really quite good for the price. If we're really stuck at a service station M&S do good cheap salads which we take out to the car or to the eating area in the service station. <br />Great photo of you all.Filhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027496923235464642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459096535013512763.post-12952461089896117512018-01-09T19:25:55.019+00:002018-01-09T19:25:55.019+00:00Family...still a family even when they fledge...lo...Family...still a family even when they fledge...lovely photo xWinters End Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924495691256051693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459096535013512763.post-61774936416868629402018-01-09T17:49:52.765+00:002018-01-09T17:49:52.765+00:00That's a very good tip about Morrisons.

Sigh. Precised somewhat, I said that mine is here for another week before we load his little blue car to bursting and wave him off. I will miss him too especially (!) his big feet, the amount of washing, clothes randomly shed in all rooms and the constant feeding of the foraging lad. kjsutcliffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064786032612487652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459096535013512763.post-33167170619446204132018-01-09T07:44:57.172+00:002018-01-09T07:44:57.172+00:00Awww,Lovely photo Aril.I love family pics like thi...Awww,Lovely photo Aril.I love family pics like this!Its a long way to travel,but its great that you can make a little break out of it.I hate service stations food aswell.So over priced!,We do the same as you and take a flask and some food from home.Much more frugal!,Debi,xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
