There are always things you wish you could do – they generally stay in your head and maybe a few things will be achieved but I want it to be more than that! So here is my  list – I will add to it as I remember or think of more and edit it when I have completed any of the things I want to do.

Everyone should have a bucket list – written or not – time passes so quickly and we are so busy that we often forget to take the time to do what will make us happy!
