Last week's bucket list reminded me of the things still to do on my 30 Things list from 2012. Oh dear, four years later and I'm no closer to ticking any of them off! I just had a peek and some of them don't seem anywhere near as important as back then, so that's cool. These, however, are still on the agenda:

Continuing with my "Being Happy" series, something that always puts a big grin on my face...
Who doesn't love a bucket list! I've placed an X by all the things I've done - some are sad though, but, each experience whether good or bad, exciting or terrifying, shapes you as a human being and defines your life: Gone on a blind date Skipped school X Watched someone die X Watched a pet die X Seen the Grand Canyon in person Flown in a plane X Served on a jury Been lost X Travelled to the opposite side of the country X Been to Europe X Swam in the Ocean X Gone south for the winter Gone on a cruise Cried yourself to sleep X Played cops and robbers X Recently coloured with crayons/pencils X Sung karaoke, a solo or duet in church X Paid for a meal with coins only X Made a prank phone call X Laughed until some beverage came out of your nose X Caught a snowflake on your tongue X Had children Lost a child Had a pet X Been skinny-dipping X Been fishing Been boating X Been downhill skiing Been water skiing Been camping in a trailer/RV X Been camping in a tent X Driven a motorcycle Been bungee-jumping (ripcord jumping) Gone to a drive-in movie Done something that could have killed you X Done something that you will regret for the rest of your life Rode an elephant or camel X Eaten just cookies, chips, ice cream or cake for dinner X Been on TV X Stolen any traffic signs X Been in a car accident X Been in hospital in the past 24 months Donated blood Gotten a (speeding) or any type of ticket in the past 12 months Gotten a piercing X Driven a four door vehicle X Been married Been divorced Fell in love X Fell out of love X Paid for a strangers meal X Driven over 100 mph X Written a published book/story (poem) X Eaten snails Been scuba diving Gotten a tattoo How about you?

Back on home turf, Angela is visiting her friends and family after two years away from home. I loved the cast in this book. We got to know Angela's parents better and her best friend Louisa, now with baby in tow. This story really developed her life outside of the States and I particularly enjoyed the way Kelk unravelled Angela's relationship with her parents. Humourous, comical, emotional - at times! Simply a really heartwarming read with the usual road bumps along the way, that we've come to expect of Angela and her life. I thought this was the end of the road for this series, but I believe there are a couple more I need to hunt down...

AuthorBlogging is an amazing concept so here I am giving it a whirl. You'll get words. You'll get pics. Sometimes a vid or two. You'll get tongue in cheek, the odd humble opinion and an honest insight into my travels and writing life. Maybe even a few gems along the way. I'll be musing on home turf as I see more and more of the UK and sharing my experiences further afield on holidays and adventurous trips across the globe. Archives
