Yes, I see your problem. How about packets of cooked pasta to mix with mayo and tinned veg? Potato salad...tinned potatoes, mayo, chives? Or could someone have a food flask handy to put some heated stew in to take to her?

@Cherryfudge agree with the smellies, we used to pack 'comfort boxes' for military out on ops.  Shoebox filled with decent teabags / coffee, sweets, books and such, but always included lip balm and hand creme. Sometimes added mascara for the girls, it dries up very quicky in certain climates.

The upside of this storm is it is a handy test of the roof tiling. Which (so far) I have passed, without flying slates.

A moment of absent-mindedness meant we are out of sugar for tea, but Youngest is very sensibly disassembling the camping gear and retrieving the sachets of sugar. I do like a young man with Standards, even if I will have to resupply & he will have to reload....
