We're not usually warm holidayers, it's been west coast Scotland for the last 8 years ( camping) so that means taking every stitch of clothing from winter to summer as the weather is so unpredictable and I have no means of washing until we get home! This year we tried Brittany at my insistence, it was mostly v warm but I confess to missing the wilds and solitude of Scotland and I think the boys probably feel Scotland has the edge too. So I think next summer I'll be avoiding the strappy dresses as no occasion to wear and loading up on tees like the ones above. Thanks as ever for an entertaining and informative blog, only been following for a few months but you've already been influencing my shopping habits and style.

It's out of stock though on the Outnet, any other bright ideas where I can get it?<br />I also detest packing, it takes too long for a start. Back this morning from 2 weeks in Gran Canaria and have missed my fashion fixes. Now to decide what to wear to flash my golden tan, being fair skinned it really won't last long but being allergic to fake means I've got to make hay whilst the sun shines!

I'm so so used to proper long summer holidays (we used to live in Spain as children - we had a villa there!!!) that it has come as a shock to the system, but it's not as if we don't get a break at all - we're lucky in that respect. Plus I'm also v fortunate that I do get time away on my own with the girls and with the husband. Although since my mum died that hasn't been possible bar for the one night as we've no one to leave the children with!

Your holiday packing is making me laugh as we do Ireland (Donegal, going on Saturday) and North Norfolk (just got back) on rotation so we have very similar packing dilemas. No dilema really, just which layers and waterproofs to take! On the subject of waterproofs, any chance you could do a blog on practical but stylish coats for rain, if such a thing exists??

Plus we have to fit Ireland in (family) and the kids absolutely love Suffolk (they prefer it to anywhere else!). Problem with the summer holiday months is that it's either not reliable sunshine (northern France!) or it's too warm. ARGGHH.

Someone told me to say something bonkers when you do it (the same every time) and then you can remember saying that as opposed to the locking of the car. Except that I even forget to do that... honestly, it's woeful. I even call my children by different names and end up yelling YOU - YES YOU at them.
