In my younger days I went caving in Kentucky. A memory to last a lifetime.

I’ve climbed mountains Maw, but I couldn’t think of anything worse than cruising on those huge ships, but I’ve thought about a river cruise. Sailing gently down the Moselle, stopping off and sampling the wine is on my bucket list, but pot holing would be my worst nightmare!

Oh Whiff, that’s made me giggle 🤭

In insomniac moments I have been known to compile a mental “bucket list” of things I have never done and frankly have no desire to do - ever! It’s much more fun.
Bungee jumping and pot holing feature, climbing high mountains, cruising on one of those monstrosities the height of an office block, jungles, deserts - and, I’m afraid, parachute jumping!

I don't have a bucket list, I have done all I wanted to when my husband was alive.

I've wanted to see the Northern Lights ever since hearing about them in primary school. We were cruising around Scotland in May when they were clearly seen back home in Devon!

I have lusted after a trip along the Silk Road since always and, sadly no longer possible, a visit to Persia/Iran. The culture from that country fascinates me..

I’d like to go on the zip wire in Snowdonia , and have a small tattoo sometime.

Unfortunately can't think of anything that my body would allow me to do now . When my husband was alive always wanted to go in a helicopter . And he always wanted to go enter a car rally race . You know the thing where they race through forests etc.

My mom wanted to go in the milk race until I told her it wasn't racing milk floats but on bikes . 🤣

I decided I would like to do something exhilarating before my time on this earth is done. I ran it past my daughter and we both agreed to do a parachute jump. We looked for a centre near to where we live and read all the info’, but because I have epilepsy (well controlled for over 60yrs) I wouldn’t be allowed. I completely understand their safety measures etc. but I’m still disappointed. It would have been fun.
Just that really.
Have any other grans had the urge to do something they wouldn’t normally try?
