      Snacks and Treats along the way! Ep.1

      May 20 in England ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      These are all the things we have tried so far. 😀

      Frazzels - They are like crispy, crunchy bacon flavor bites. Kind of remind me of Rashuns

      Eccles Cake - An Eccles cake is a small, round pie, similar to a turnover, filled with currants and made from flaky pastry with butter, sometimes topped with sugar.

      Mini Cheddars - Oven baked with strong cheese flavor. It's kind of like NZs Cheddar Shapes

      Maryland Minis - yummy little bikkies with a soft, crummy biscuit and big chocolate chunks

      Bueno - we get these in NZ. Same chocolate as the Kinda Suprise

      Hula Hoops - by far, my favorite. They come in a range of flavors like cheese and onion, salt and vinegar, and beef, but my favorite is the original. Salted flavor. 😋

      Pains Au Chocolat - Soft and flavourful pastry that's produced in France, Pains Au Chocolat are a baked pastry filled with chocolate 🍫

      Warburtons crumpets - they are a bit thicker than the ones at home, but they taste the same. A crumpet is a crumpet

      Twiglets - I actually don't mind them. They have a cracker like texture shaped like a 'twig' covered in what almost tastes like Marmite. They are more'ish

      Mr Kipling Cakes - 🤤🤤🤤 they come in all sorts of flavors, and they are usually colored by their flavoring. Strawberry has pink icing, lemon has yellow icing, and so on, so forth. They have a soft sponge inner with a small filling of flavored cream. Delish.

      Monster munch crisps - these are like Cheezels in NZ, but their flavors are way different. You have a spicy flavor, pickle and onion, and beef. I like the beef the most.

      Snack Rocks - literally popping candy sugar. Ben loved. I'm not too keen

      TAYTO Crisps - Again, come in a variety of flavors, but if you want a basic chip, get the ready salted. You can't go wrong.

      Cadbury Snack - chocolate covered vanilla biscuit. Simple, yet yummy.

      Jacob's McKado Fury biscuits - Vanilla base, marshmello, strawberry jam, and coconut. Yummy 😋

      Grandad Alec

      May 22 in England ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

      When we got back to Auntie Enids this afternoon, she brought out my grandads album he put together from when he was in the Navy in Korea. The album itself is pretty special as it has the same detailed art on my jewelry box my mum gave me. Which means he must have purchased them together. It was rather special holding the album that my grandad would have held. He passed away before I was born.

      My Grandad served on the HMS D20 and D43. Both ships served in the Far East between 1947 and 1957 as part of the 8th Destroyer Squadron. However, the D20 Comus that engaged in the Korean War was damaged in the Yellow Sea by two North Korean Ilyushin 11-10 on Tuesday 22 August 1950.

      The album was filled with many photos of him and his time, and he had a couple of portraits that were drawn that were really cool to see.

      Right at the end, I found in the album a small picture of my mum, which I'd guess was when she was 7 or 8. Precious ❤️

      We are in Glossop

      May 18 in England ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      Driving through from Holyhead to Glossop. It was cloudy to start, but then the sun came out for us. Auntie Enid drove us to my cousin Andys, where we are staying. The roads are quite narrow, and the buildings are all brick work and cobblestone. It's gorgeous. They have a lovely bungalo style home. It is very cozy and plenty of garden for the kids. They even have a spa pool, so we will be giving that a go later!

      They have pets, too, and they are just what we need when we are missing our Maximoo and Loken back home.

      I also found a picture of Nana and Andy, and it made my heart so happy 😊
