Heading for Cabopino on Sunday.
One of the most important provisions is travel sweeties 💖
Our recent discovery is that Lakeland sell a delightful selection. Anyone else found these 🤔

What were those ones in the tin, with fine icing sugar dusting! Loved them!

Looked like a cocaine dealer/user by the end of a long journey though! 😜

Serious issue this. Non of that Belly Locker stuff here. As Bill Shankly said:
"Some people believe sweets are a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you that they are much, much more important than that.”

I'm clearly in a minority here.

My 'travel snack' of choice are almonds. I buy the 750g bags and if I'm feeling really posh then I'll mix them 50:50 with some cashew nut halves (taste the same as the whole ones, but are cheaper)

(I'm already picturing a bunch of you grabbing a handful of sherbet lemons with one hand while preparing an outraged reply with the other :D)

In my defence, this isn't down to any attempt to 'eat better' or anything like that. I've just never had a sweet tooth and can't be doing with melty chocolate or sticky sugary stuff on my hands when driving.

Oh yes, that was a big treat when Mum opened those on the journey from Castle Cary to the Isle of Sheppey for our Summer Holiday with my Aunt and Uncle. He was a prison warden there. We had use of an indoor swimming pool and there was a prison officers club house. It seemed so exotic.

Well, if you’re lucky enough to have a Boyes store near you, they have a great selection of sweeties for £1 for a bag. And a normal bag, not one of those shrink-inflation bags.
Our current selection for our two month trip to Portugal and Spain via France include:
1. Chocolate limes (like sherbets but choc centred treats)
2. Lemon sherbets
3. Murray type mints
4. Soft, chewy Pontefract cakes
5. Werthers ‘old fart’ Originals. (Sorry Minxy 🙂)
6. Vichy mints

We’re a dentist’s dream!

If you want a peak into sweets and sugar, look at the Morocco teeth health, put you off sweets and sugar for life!

Not such a bad idea 👍
