Motorway services are lush

 Dear readers 

Today I'm handing over to a friend of mine who is highly opinionated and observant and always seems to have plenty to say about everything and who I've probably stolen many ideas from of which you've probably read and thought how interesting it was...so without further ado here she is.. sit tight for a fascinating insight into health, the cosmos hilarity and beyond.. random ideas from a free thinker.. ☺ ☺ ✌

There's something really lush about driving along in the autumn sun as you get to the border between France and Spain.. there's mountains and heat and blue skies and freedom like it could just carry on for ever.. and then you pass through the border and drive off into the mountains and find yourself a motorway services for the night and you get quite picky.. they are not all the same.. some have loads of lorries and there's hardly any room or there's no hot food and we really like hot food.. and big mugs of tea which is much much cheaper all of a sudden.. although no-one can understand us any more.. dos tès Verde por favor.. I say.. so it takes a while.. infusiones? Que? And it goes on like that.. we think it's quite funny so fall about laughing a bit.. but there's something lost in translation that means it's not funny at all to them. What we love is adapting.. somehow we always make the best of it.. we always find some magic in this unlikely place of lorry fumes and droning engines with incessant traffic driving by ..and sometimes it really really smells bad and the toilets get blocked and there's nothing to eat and the freezer lorries come in late when we are just trying to settle down and they hum and drone all night.. but in the morning we say we had the best sleep ever and we are so content in our fuggy waking up world with a big tall cup of tea made in the back by my fair hands in an old Starbucks cardboard cup that we reuse until even we think it's past using and have to recycle it.. We love every single bit of it.. all the scab and making do.. and we think why have we left all that stuff at home when we don't even need it.. and we drive on to the next services for elevenses 😁 🚛  🚙 🛣  ☀ ✌
