5 days left!

Hello there friends,

So I meant to do this with 7 days left but kind of forgot, then one with 6 days left would have made sense but I forgot AGAIN, so 5 days left will have to do! That's right 5 days to soak up as much of Great Britain as possible, and then pack. For a year. Into 1 suitcase. Flipping 'eck.

Anyway, yes I have decided to stuff 1 suitcase full and take a hand luggage bag instead of 2 kind of nearly full bags so now I just need to decide what I will be bringing...
