I used to look forward to site breakfasts: all-you-can-eat bacon and eggs seemed like a dream come true. After the initial excitement wore off, I found it too much to have every day. So this trip, I varied traditional breakfast with some dairy dessert - ICECREAM! Not the healthiest start to the day, but it tasted great! We packed some into takeaway cups to have as a little energy booster throughout the day...
And after a long day at work, there's nothing better than coming back to big deep dishes of meat and taters. The last place I stayed at had 3 different choices of mains, a soup of the day and POTATO of the day!! Awesome!
So here is a taste of the food we got up on site. See Dad? I was eating properly. And yes Mum, I did finish everything on my plate.. (although looking at the size of my plate, she would probably prefer I hadn't)!
Meat and potatoes
Fish (not mine)
More meat and potatoes..
Friday fish: the fish up there is really fresh and tasty!
Meat and potatoes again..
Pasta
Meat, potatoes AND pasta!!
Lots of protein and carbs. Definitely high energy food, which would have been good if I had been exercising.. or something.. Unfortunately, I wasn't doing anything more taxing than typing. Real taxing, quite the energy burner. Perhaps that's why I came back to find all my pants had shrunk while I was away. Boohoo :(
