Clothes to take for England

I work in Windermere and at the moment we're all walking around in t-shirts, its still rather warm and humid! In 4 weeks time it still could be lovely weather, sometimes our Autumn weather is better than the summer!

you definitely don't need a ski jacket, but don't forget your waterproof jacket (we carry these around with us 365 days of the year!) and if you're planning on doing any walking, bring waterproof trousers too.

Otherwise just normal clothes (i.e. t-shirt and jumper, with a warm coat/jacket if needed) will be fine. Umbrellas are pretty useless here since it's often too windy.

Given you can easily buy t-shirts in the UK for £5 or less why didn't you just buy some more

a good question. I didn't want any of the tacky tourist t-shirts you can get and the stores had lots of winter stock. I travel with my son who has a disability - shopping isn't something that he likes to do, unless it is in a souvenir shop and we are looking for him.

That week, was extremely hot and stuffy, we ended up at Brighton for some sea air on one day - basically I had to get out of London. Before heading home we headed to Paris for a day trip - it was worse over there, as an Australian and coming from winter, I wasn't prepared for the heat.

As the transitional period between summer and winter, things start to get a little colder and milder in the autumn. Some days the weather will resemble summer, others will be cold. It’s time to think about a woolly hat and the light waterproof jacket. If you’re a skirt and dress person rather than a trouser person, then leggings and opaque tights start to make an appearance to make outfits a little warmer. Scarves are extremely useful – sometimes when it’s not quite cold enough for a coat, then a jumper or cardigan combined with a hat and a scarf will do.
Please note: Most of Europe’s Budget Airlines have this Carry-on Bag Allowance: 55cm x 40cm x 20cm. Always check your airlines individual baggage rules and regulations in advance.

As a small add on to what @#12 has mentioned about carry on flight bags, different low cost budget airlines have varied specifications nowadays. Please check each one to make sure you don't get stung at the departure gate.
It rains a lot in Windermere. Be prepared for sudden downpours.

No matter where we go in the world, we always carry a pack-a-mac, or whatever the type is called. Anyway, it's a lightweight plastic jacket and hood, which rolls up small enough to carry in a little bag, which is provided.

As everyone has said, our weather is always unpredictable.

Do you mean a 'nice' jacket for going out to dinner in? If you do, I wouldn't bother unless you are that interested in fashion. A lightweight showerproof will be fine over layers. Even where I live in Cornwall, you can never tell. Went for a longish walk on Saturday, started in a T shirt and a cotton jumper and a gilet (they are very useful BTW). Within an hour I had discarded the gilet, and not long after, the jumper for the next two hours walked in just a T shirt and sat outside a pub for a while. Needed the jumper to walk home in and as the evening cooled, the gilet came back on.....

Thanks all.
