Packing for the trip (this is for you Lauren)

Packing our adventure awaits 2 jumpers

Small pink bag has jewellery in and small flat sewing kit they go in the back compartment of the back pack

My handbag that I take its is good as it is theft proof ie the cannot cut through it and has the stuff that you cannot scan details in the front pocket and its black so goes with everything

My embroidery for when I'm over in Ireland and home that goes in luggage

5 shirts, 2 thermals and one dressy shirt to wear with pants

Only shoes I'm taking are my walking boots here and my good going out boots Docs and thongs as when we land back it will be Jan and hot in australia also saves getting Tinea with shared showers :) 

Toiletries in with the shoes, for smalls I take 6 pairs of socks and same with bras panties

Stuff to pack in my black bag some crochet for the trip and my scissors I can take on the plane, passport and a small book that I can donate after I have finished it and travel sweets courtesy of Tracey Bonome

top of my backpack I'll put a small jumper for the plane and also the travel plugs one for europe and one for UK 

In this small backpack I put my winter clothes that I will change into before we land in frankfurt it has my goretex jacket (wind and rain proof) pair of jeans and thermal top, and smalls, gloves, beanie and scarf 

Never trust a motorcycle man he is looking up parts in the UK to bring back with us :/ also he cheated at Jenga, thank you Ronan and Kristy, lola and Maisie for the game and the other presents it was very thoughtful of you 

2 pair of other pants one jeans and one tracksuit pants

umbrella as it always rains in ireland

roll them up to pack and they fit nicely and also put them all in a plastic bag as it gives extra protection when we walk in case the rain comes, even though our backpacks have a rainproof cover there is nothing worse if stuff gets wet

All of 13kgs packed and ready for our adventure
