Sunday was travel day and was interesting! Up at 6am so I could shower and do last bits of housework before we left. Quite a gloomy morning. Got to the station nice and early armed with my M&S food and the last 2 boiled eggs from the egg stash in the fridge. So, bed 6.4 FBG 5.8. I'm also getting back into the 4's during the day. B. TAG with ADOC. Left the rest until I was on the train. I was correct there was nothing I could eat - only crisps and biscuits, but the coffee was surprisingly good. That was until they declassified 1st class and then there was nothing more because you couldn't move for people sitting on the floor, packing the aisles etc. Seriously overcrowded. The few of us who had paid for 1st class were told to complain and they'll refund. Didn't alter the fact it was downright dodgy trying to get off the train with luggage, me on crutches and the route to the doors jam packed! Anyway before all that happened I managed to have a coffee, a boiled egg, 3 chicken koftas a piece of M&S red Leicester and a very addictive M&S cornish cove with balsamic onions (the 30g portions). Eventually got into Chester around 3pm.D. Met up with SIL & BIL and drunk way too much dry white wine. Started with two white wine spritzer Well our room wasn't ready and we were sent off to the bar with vouchers for free drinks. Next surprise was I could eat almost everything on the menu! They even had items marked low carb-higherfat/protein. Got settled then another spritzer. BG down to 4.6 so after much debate I had nicely cooked squid (no batter on it) with garlic mayo and watercress. Then had a bunless wild boar and chorizo burger with usual salad and a gerkin, cheese, red cabbage slaw and halloumi chips. Yet more wine! Americano and yes a little pot of cream.They also have celeriac mash on the menu but I'll save that for another night.</blockquote>
