Travelling after Brexit

This tends to be our go to meal with a tin of tuna and some olives thrown in. We always carry a tin of tuna for emergencies.

That’s because us oldies remember life before the EU

Have you ever tried parking a car with caravan in a supermarket carpark on a Saturday 🤣 

Travelling 2 long days with 3 teenagers and a dog we usually take 3 days worth of food with us. That means we don’t have to shop on the same day as (the joy of) setting up the awning. 

Eating abroad is a fabulous experience, shopping abroad not so much. I’m keen to take the basics and shop for the nice, delicious, local things in a local town a couple of days after arrival. 
But most worrying for us is that we can no longer take the dog’s food. Switching dog food quickly causes upset tummies. No one wants a dog with an upset tummy on a campsite, let alone in a caravan 😏

Hi, only a couple of times on a Saturday but we always stop en route from the port.

We may even be able to combine a fuel/lunch/shop stop and I will use Google, especially Streetview, to choose suitable stops.

As you mention teenagers they may be partial to a Mc Donald’s which can be seen, in even what seem like remote places, alongside main routes.

Maybe we are not too concerned as we have never packed anything other than what’s in the fridge and view the cost of buying food enroute as part of our holiday costs-and yes we even did so, and still do, when taking children or grandchildren with us.

Even when we had a caravan we took very little with us. Once pitched at the first site, it was easy enough to drive to a nearby supermarket and stock up. It’s so easy get there location using a phone or pad.

getting into some service stations in Spain with a caravan can be an interesting experience, but would not dream of leaving my rig unattended at a supermarket in Spain whilst we shopped or had lunch

this is a concern, although we have never taken enough for a 3 months stay, pooch has mainly that dried stuff which is fairly standard mix if you use popular brands, failing that trying staching away some of the stuff along with the bangers and bacon, and just hope those nice offciado dont find it
