Romantic breaks are fantastic. It might be a chance to get away from the kids for a while, or just to take a break from work and household chores. It’s an opportunity for you and your partner to catch up without the distractions of life at home and work. You might choose to have a bit of a digital detox so that you can enjoy your time together in peace. Your romantic break is your time to have experiences and make memories together. Things that you will look back on, and talk about in years to come. Many couples return from a romantic break feeling more in love and free of stress than they have for a long time.
Fortunately, you don’t have to go to the other side of the world to have a romantic break, it doesn’t need to be costly, and you don’t even need to be away for a long time. There are plenty of cities and other locations in the UK that are perfect for a short romantic break with your partner.
But, packing for a summer break in the UK can be a little tricky. Rain often features heavily in a British summer. But, there’s also gusty winds, scorching sun and everything in between. In two short days in England in the summer you could quite easily experience all four seasons. Packing for a romantic break in such conditions can be tough, so let’s take a look at some tips.
Make Romance A Priority
It’s hard to get romantic in a big duffle coat and fluffy PJs. If you are going on a romantic trip, make romance your packing priority. Invest in some romantic treats like a sexy nurse outfit by Obsessive and make sure you’ve got some special outfits to go for some romantic dinners.
Pack Your Waterproofs
A rainy day tucked up in a hotel room can be lovely. Get some hot chocolate or a bottle of wine, and some of your favourite snacks and spend the day cuddled up together, eating, drinking and chatting. Sometimes rain gives you a great chance to simply be together. But, you might still want to go exploring or take a romantic walk in the rain. Pack waterproof coats and shoes, and don’t let a bit of rain stop you.
And Your Sunscreen
Recent summers have seen some of the hottest temperatures the UK has ever seen. So don’t just assume that your summer break will be a washout: pack sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat to protect yourself.
Light Layers
The weather is bound to be up and down, and even after hot days, the evenings could be mild. Pack lots of light layers, and loose-fitting clothes to make sure you are comfortable, whatever the weather.
Add Some Romantic Surprises
You might want to plan and book your holiday with your partner. Planning a break together is exciting, and it gives you both something to look forward to. But, that doesn’t mean that you can’t include some surprises. Book some tickets to a show or event and pack them in your partner’s bag, or pack a romantic present to show them how much you care.
