Packing for HolidaySome people find packing a night mare, personally I have been brought up with a lot of travelling around so find it something that I do mindlessly. I am always amazed at how certain friends turn up with huge suitcases where the content never reaches hits the ground running. These are my top tips for easy packing:1) Find out what the climate is likely to be where you are heading off2) Layering is great. Avoid the bulky jumper that takes up half a suitcase, go for a couple of

things that can worn on top of each other to get the same effect.3) If you have a chance to do a bit of wining and dining, separates are great as are teeny

tiny little tea shirts with chiffon tops. You can pack hundreds of these in a small space.4) It doesn’t matter where you are going there are some things which must be put in the

suit case: Underwear, a thin waterproof top, something to keep you really warm, your tooth brush and tooth paste, your wash bag, any medicine's you might require, a good sturdy pair of shoes for walking, a hair brush, and if you are inclined a pair of jeans.

5) Consider that you may not be able to iron everything so items that don’t crease a lot are a definite must.

6) If you have accessories such as travel plugs, money bum bags, hair driers, etc these are obviously worth considering as well

7) Don’t forget your passport, visas , foreign currencies if going abroad!

Most important of all is to remember that this is not a complete list, and every holiday has different things that are needed, particularly when travelling abroad.

A Perfect Day Out..Everybody has a different idea of a perfect day out, but for many it is to get into the fresh air. If I was planning such a day, I would certainly be looking at the National Garden Scheme and the National Trust for a few ideas. At this time of the year it is always worth looking through the Friday Ad for a few ideas on what to do. If you are feeling brave perhaps take a pic nick. Send me your feed back, what do you consider to be the perfect day out??
