I'm heading away this weekend With my Mother and sister We are not going far Just to the next county to visit my uncle I'll try to post over the next couple of daysBut if I don't I guess it's good to take a break sometimes tooThere are times when I put pressure on myself to blogI try to blog every dayAs it helps me make sense of things It's something I do every dayOne day at a timeIt gives my day structure And routineBut I guess I should blog when I feel like itAnd not put pressure on myself But that is meAn All or nothing type of gal
I don't really have the travel bugNevet really have When I finished schoolI told everyone that I was going travellingMore than a decade later I still haven't gone I suppose I am a home birdI like the comfort and safety of my houseGoing out causes me anxietyAnd I tend to go to the same places everydayAt the same timeAnd when I go out for the dayI am counting the hours until I can go home again
Don't get me wrong I love to go on holiday I love airports and flyingI love trains and buses I actually like the traveling partI love staying in hotels or B&BsI guess I've never actually organised my own holidayI've always gone away on trips that someone else has arrangedSo I've been doing things that others want to doIf I organised my own holidayAnd did what I want to doI'm sure I would enjoy it much more
The other thing I don't like about traveling is packing I am a terrible packerTake this weekend We are going away for two nightsAnd Nike sports bag is bursting at the seams with clothes and shoesI always bring more than I needJust in caseJust in case it snows I will bring all my winter wearJust in case I decide to climb a mountainI will bring all my hiking gearJust in case....I inevitably only wear about one third of the stuff I bringBut it eases my mind to know that they are there
So here is what I am bringing
1 leather jacket1 rain jacket2 x jeans - 1 blue, 1 navy3 x trousers - 1 blue tight, 1 blue baggy, 1 mustard2 x t-shirts - 1navy, 1 white 2 x hoodys 1 x cardigan
You know Just in case
I was wondering about you Do you like travelling?Or are you more of a home bird like me?Are you a good packer?Or are you a pack everything just in case kind of person?Answers on a postcard please.....
