On Holiday

After what feels like an eternity but has in fact only been 4 months it's time for me to go on holiday again. The Scottish Borders are calling, and I am packing. So far I've packed marmalade, champagne, pearls, plenty of books, a large bottle of gin, a warm jumper, rhubarb, some wellies (which auto correct is determined to turn into willies - which is not what I mean to say at all) and enough clean underwear to see me through - though I may have broken the golden rule and packed more books than knickers. Whatever the weather does I'm confident I'm going to enjoy myself, though I do wonder what will happen of Scotland ever gets border control. Is rhubarb likely to be a prohibited item? Do I really need to take it on holiday with me anyway? And perhaps most vitally what have I forgotten to pack which I might really need when I was thinking waste not want not over the rhubarb.

  2. Have a lovely holiday. Knickers are nowhere near as important as books so I think you have the proportions just right.

  3. Who can go wrong with gin and pearls?! Add the marmalade and you've even got the makings of a second cocktail...

  5. Happy hols! You can do without knickers, but you'll always need books. Am wondering if there's going to be money to be made from black market rhubarb following independence. Loving the books you're taking along with you.
