Foodie News from the Basque Region
It will be no surprise to people that know me that just because I was on holiday I didn’t stop thinking about food. Mr C is well used to me yelling stop as we pass interesting places on our travels. Miss M is turning into a mini-me and loves exploring foodie places just like I do. Our foodie journey started as soon as we got on the ferry with our surprise gift from Brittany Ferries of an assortment of macarons and gorgeous fresh fruit. Unfortunately, you will have to imagine how beautiful the food was as they didn’t last long enough to be photographed. I know, call myself a blogger!

One of our favourite meals that makes us feel like we’ve eaten ‘proper’ food is Seafood Pie. I’ve made this dozens of times in the van- it doesn’t always look pretty, sometimes we use hardly any ingredients but it always tastes fab!
