I thought it would be good to share ideas and tips to make life more interesting/fun/less mundane
My Tip:
Instead of going to Motorway service stations, go to National Trust properties. Its £70ish for the family for the year(which includes parking in Cornwall and will pay for itself almost instantly based upon the over inflated prices you get at MSSs) and you can have good food and coffee at better prices in surprising locations. Also they’re all over the country!
Plus you’ll be sure to find a petrol station to and from the motorway exit.
