The long life milk from Sainsbugs or Tesgogos tastes really nice, not like the stuff in the green and white cartons. I also pour it into the (empty)bottle of the normal fresh milk as it is easier for Mum to use and she doesn't know unless I tell her.

Idid see somewhere that long life milk tastes better if it is cold.

Sun + book + earplugs + gin = perfect holiday with Mr SA 🤣 Trust me I am SO ready for a break. I will miss my fur babies but DD will thoroughly spoil them, they won’t suffer, although they won’t get fed at 6am that’s for sure.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

You can freeze ordinary plastic cartons of milk ok. I usually have one or two in the freezer for emergencies. You just have to give it a good shake when it’s defrosted, but it’s fine for teas and coffees.Your holiday recipe sounds perfect, sometimes a book, earplugs and gin would be enjoyable any evening 😁Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Don't think we ended up using much French. We want to use more next time though.
They do appreciate you trying .5
