The great weather continued for another week. It is amazing! England in the spring sunshine can be a very colourful place. We were staying in Cleethorpes with Russ’ Mum and spent a lot of time outdoors which was a bonus. We are more used to cold drizzle and freezing winds whenever we go there!! Within the space of just five days we celebrated the birthdays of Russ, his older brother Rick (in Moscow to watch Man Utd!) and both of Russ’ grandmothers.

So another day and after tips of some travelblogger's and other people i know i decided to do some more unpacking and packing and well it was fairly similar to yesterdays results........lol, so several unpacks and repacks later and i think i am finally happy with what i am taking and what i am leaving behind. I have decided after cutting down t-shirts, underwear to 5, that i have now got down to 4 of some items and two of some and one of other items and some items have gone as i feel i will not need them and if i do i can buy them cheaply enough on the road.
