Hello lovelies,
Hope this finds you well. We are fine after a manic tour of Wales and the North, but our campsite for tonight (advertised as leafy Surrey countryside) is at the end of what must be Gatwick's busiest runway. It's good for my flying phobia though - no planes have crashed yet, and there have been a hell of a lot of them.
Our first full day off tomorrow, which will be nice. It'll be a good time to sort out all the cupboards in the van, which were packed in a hurrry and contain a lot of stuff we don't need, making it harder to find the things we do - like passports, which we finally found after a two-hour search yesterday. Remind me to listen next time Mike says he's found a safe place for something. I think we might also spend a bit of time looking for a new campsite. We can see the passengers' faces from this one.
We have been having lovely healthy food and so far it's all been free, thanks to my brother Rob's allotment, accountant Fiona's vegetable garden, and schoolfriend Claire's muck-heap (the best pumpkins and courgettes you've ever seen). We are hoping to be unrecognisably slim by the time we come back. Proper cooking photos below:

| Rosemary and Rob's butternut squash. Mike's gin & tonic (honest, guv) |

| Squash, tomato, onion & chilli soup. Lovely, and cheap too - gives us hope that our budget might even work. |
Time for bed now. Mr Spanner and I have matching earplugs, you'll be pleased to hear.
