    How did it go, MGR?
    MGR,

    Just reading through some of the old posts again and I realise I have been both forgetfull and a little rude. You mentioned in one post that the last week of June and the first week of July you were off to the south of France. I apologise for not asking before, how did it go? Was it a new area for you to visit or places well known? I ask because it sounds fun and exciting and I guess the weather was much kinder there than here in the wet UK.

    Single Servings
    Having now been out in “them there hills” in the wilds of Kent (?!) I have found the need for a little sauce, condiment or such like to be a great delight when you have it and a sore loss when you go without. This led me to the use of those little single serving sized sachets of tea, coffee, ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper and so on. I have gotten some from the internet shopping as well as “saving” the “handfull” of sauces from the fast food merchants. KFC moist hand wipes rock, but do not quote me.

    Really good stuff – no waste, always fresh and always light and easy to pack away for a trip. Am I deluded to think I am the only one on site to use the sachet approach?

    Update!
    I have now found that when it comes to me, the puppy dog and the tent, the fewer the things I need to take, the better. For this reason can I say you check out any and all tinned foods you buy for a trip and try to only get the tins with a ring pull top. Not having to need a can opener may sound like a small matter, but it is so cool to be able to pull open the tins, particularly when the dog and I are off on a day of walking. OK, so I have the Knife/Fork/Spoon to lever open a tin if the ring pull comes off and I realise those with poor hands may prefer a can opener, but for the rest of use, I think they are cool. Anyone else have an opinion on the matter?

    OK, so that makes three.
    Right then, that makes three of us so far and a good start. I just wonder where the wanderer and suz big wagon and the other previously interested boys and girls are at the moment?

    MGR, how goes the research? Any ideas so far?

    Davey, how goes the van? Lots of nice weather lately – have you got the beastie into shape, and what is the name of your van?

    I call my car “My Darling”. You know, cold morning, servicing a bit questionable, get in and turn the key and mutter “Come on, My Darling”……….

    As a point of note, I did once own a worn out Mark4 Cortina estate that let me down so much I used to call it “You Ba~~~rd”, as in “Oh for the love of God, you…….”
