Pre Travel Day

We are sitting in the departure lounge and while I hadn't intended to post live I thought I would fill you in on the dinner at Premier Inn.

Before dinner I had a can of gin and tonic in the room and DH had a glass of red wine.

We had the meal deal so for both adults it was 2 courses a drink and then free breakfast.

The kids both ordered large cokes. A whole pint of coke each and they did manage to drink it all...no wonder they were hyper at bedtime!

DH ordered a glass of red and I had a glass of white. I also asked for a jug of water.

I gave the kids the choice of ordering from the main menu and then no pudding or ordering from the kids menu and then having pudding.

Max decided on a kids meal so he could get pudding. Kate wanted a curry. Our waiter explained it would be a very long wait for the food about an hour. It was a long wait, DH finished his wine and asked for a 2nd. I asked if we could get our water and the waiter apologised that it hadn't arrived and gave us the 2nd wine on the house.

Eventually the food arrived. Max decided to go for the kids burger and chips with no beans, but the beans did get included so Kate ate them as a kind of starter.

DH had battered fish and chips with mushy peas. He was asked if he wanted white or brown bread. He asked for Brown I thought this would be nice crusty bread but no just plain sliced. He made a chip butty out of it though.

Kate had curry with rice, naan bread and poppadoms. She enjoyed this.

I had lamb shank and green beans in a tomato sauce. It was only ok. The lamb was nice enough and cooked well as it fell off the bone but still wasn't great.

Then came puddings. I offered Max to have my pudding if he ordered me ice cream with raspberry sauce from the kids menu. He happily accepted this offer and went for the chocolate brownie sundae.

I'd been doing really well of remembering to take photos but these are my first fails! I only remembered part way through dessert that I hadn't got the photos. So Max had already eaten the chocolate off the top of the sundae.

Here is the remains of my 2 scoops.

DH ordered the trip. A strawberry cheesecake, which he split in half so Kate could have a taste, Apple crumble and chocolate brownie.

This is Kate's portion...

This is what he kept for himself...

We asked for the bill and it came out wrong as we had been charged for the puddings! The waiter sorted it out fairly quickly for us though.

Then we went up to the room, I grabbed some ice from Costa for my remaining G&Ts.

They went down rather well!

We settled down for bed around 10.30pm. For those who remember last year, this year there was no chair in the bathroom. I rather cleverly had bought a light for my kindle so that if I awoke then I could read, I was feeling very proud of myself for that... However, it turns out I had left my kindle on my bedside table at home! 😣 I'm a bit sad about that really so the light is now uselessly sitting in my hand bag. Spoiler alert, I actually managed to get 6hours sleep last night! I woke a couple of times but dropped back off fairly quickly. So one of the best pre travel day sleeps in recent years.

And so we are off. I may get travel day up shortly, or I may not see you again for a couple of weeks! I'm not sure what will happen.

Thanks for reading everyone. I'm looking forward to a cocktail.
