Due to popular demand (!) and after looking over some of my more popular posts I will do a short recap here of what I am packing for my upcoming trip.

It’s a tricky one. A week in Manchester, UK where I will be staying in daughter’s house: she, her husband, the baby and the dog. It’s bound to be cooler than here in North Carolina; and chances are it will be wet some of the time. But I DO keep clothes over there. Sweat pants, sweaters, socks, pajamas, warm flannel robe, assorted hair and skin products. And of course I can, and do, use some of her things .

Let’s begin with my first week and what I will be doing:

This visit I will be doing some gardening. Surprise surprise! They bought a cart load of plants and bulbs in anticipation. Last May we had a great time planting for spring and summer. I am happy to say the Sweet Pea seeds germinated beautifully and they had lovely flowers; the hanging planter we bought at the local allotment sale is still…. going strong; the geraniums have flourished; and on and on.

A Shout-Out to Garnet Hill

The percale sheets are superb. They fit beautifully, they wash superbly, they last for at least fifteen years (remember, I don’t own a clothes dryer!), and they iron easily.

Yes, you will see a set of their sheets hanging in my laundry room about every ten days.
