Ready, steady, pack…

Rain, rain and more rain…but I am sure it is about to stop because a) – it has now rained constantly almost since that sunny day in March when my sister got married (and how lucky was she!) and b) –  tomorrow we are going to our cottage for 2 weeks…yeah…and I have ordered good weather.  We set off tomorrow for Scotland to escape our normal busy lives here.

We are going to a special place that is just as unhurried and stress free as you can get…

where we are hidden away with a gorgeous view to wake up to…

and my flowers are well in bloom…can’t wait to see my garden again.  It is always a surprise to see how much everything has grown.

But before then the packing has to be attended to and as always the question is where to begin.  Of course I won’t be even attempting to do the Friday Fling today

• Finish bits of washing for holiday
• Change and wash bedding – I like to put fresh bedding on before we go so it is clean to come back to.
• Wash clothes ready for work when we get back – I may not get them ironed but I know they will be clean for our return.
• Ironing to do – as much as possible
• Prepare clothes to take with us
• Pack some basic food items – we will shop for rest when we get there
• Quick flick round with the duster
• Run hoover over the floors
• Check bank accounts
• Water plants indoors
• Clear out the fridge
• Have a sit down for half an hour and a cup of tea!

So I won’t be blogging for a while until my return as we don’t have TV or phone or computer at the cottage – no technology just a mobile that only works at the bottom of the garden.  Bye for now…
