It's holiday time! Not much to moan about when going on holiday, what's not to like.
Ever since I went to Butlins in Clacton- on- Sea I've got excited about holidays. It's just that I'm not very good at packing.
I've read all sorts of articles over the years about capsule wardrobes, scarves that can be used as beach wraps or shawls, packing clothes in only three colours so everything goes with everything but I'm still useless.
So I was thinking today what are the essentials, what do you really need to pack and I thought that it's a bit like life, you need to equip yourself and to get a good nights sleep.
So start off with footwear. Be prepared for any terrain.
A pair of shoes for the journey that look smart but are comfortable.
A pair of sandals for the beach that can get wet and sandy and not get ruined.
A pair of sports shoes for scrambling over rocks and walking cobbled streets.
A pair of high heels just in case.
So there you are ready to go.
After footwear concentrate on what you need for a good nights sleep. Two silk nighties are essential. Silk is good for the skin and will soothe away any sunburn. A
After footwear and night wear pack what you need for personal hygiene, preferably in light plastic packaging, no heavy glass bottles, and don't forget your toothbrush.
A notebook and pen are next, and a good book.
Clothes will depend on the sort of holiday you're going on.
Lastly pack a sense of adventure, a heart full of love and an open mind.
Anywhere you go, any journey you make will have you going home again somehow different, refreshed, recharged,more tolerant and with more to give.
