Not a no spends day today. I have been and picked up a nice loaf of bread this morning and later tonight we are staying at a pub stop so we will have a few drinks there.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was porridge, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is steak pie with jacket potato and mint and chilli mushy peas.
No jobs tonight. We are heading out in the van straight after work. Just need to put some food on there and we are ready to go. We packed the rest of it up last night and turned the fridge on.
The dog was overly excited last night because he knew we were loading up the van. He was a bit of a nuisance with it really!1 -

We have an early start today to try and beat some traffic. We will be up soon walk the dog, grab a quick coffee and then off to McDonald's for breakfast.
We have a long drive today. No rush though.
Dinner later will be some cheese which we will buy in cheddar with a cider ham I cooked yesterday and some homemade garlic bread and dips.
We have no real plans for today. No idea what time we will get to Cheddar. Will be ready for a beer when we do arrive 😀
Last nights stop over was lovely. We will definitely come back here again. Think it will make a nice winter stop.

Good morning from sunny Cheddar.
We had an absolute pig of a run down here yesterday. What started out as a 2.5 hour journey ended up at 5 hours due to an accident on the M5. The sat nav rerouted us through Central Bristol and that was stressful to say the least!
But we finally got here to glorious weather and had a lovely afternoon.
The cheese we bought was delicious. We have loads left.
Today we are exploring again. The weather looks set to be hot and sunny again.
