What to pack for a countryside getaway?
OK, so if you haven’t quite had the time (cue: funds) to splurge on an exotic Maldivian adventure, the next best alternative (not in terms of sunshine hours) has to be the good old British countryside.
Rustic, charming, with a healthy measure of gale force winds and rain added to the scenic mix, and you’ve got your average British holiday!
But no, we’re not putting a, (pardon the pun), dampener on the Brit holiday season as we’re going ahead full steam with appropriate packing for said mini-vacay.
Whether it’s a cosy cottage break in Somerset, or a glam getaway to The Lake District that tickles your field-trotting-hill-clambering fancy, don’t pack that bag without shopping our ‘Countryside Chic’ edit!
