Oh joy! Only gone 6 miles of our 203 mile drive & Mr F has already yelled "You f*****g horse tw*t" at a thoughtless driver! 
Lots of food & coffee on board though, so shan't be paying motorway services prices.

Scotch Corner.....or "Rob-dog Corner" as Mr F is now calling it, having seen the price of the petrol!!

Hope you enjoy your holiday when you get there! We try to stay out of the motorway services unless it is one of the nicer Farm Shop type. In which case I might have a browse before returning to my flask and sandwiches. I am easily affected by less than perfect hygiene standards so definitely prefer home prepared fresh food. My grandmother always baked a cake to take too, usually a big fruit cake. I like to do the same if I have the time, although even a batch of flapjacks comes in very handy. Supplies will be useful if you need to hunker down during the oncoming weather!
