What is on your life-long to-do list? Do you have burning ambitions? Of course you do.
The 2007 film The Bucket List starred Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman as two terminally ill men who go on a road trip with a list of things to do before they kick the bucket.
Not, before anyone asks, that I am terminally ill, or even slightly under the weather. I just think that it’s good to know what you’re aiming for.
Here is my bucket list:
- See the aurora borealis. A long-held ambition that even defied a trip to Iceland.
- Fly a seaplane to some fabulous Scottish West Coast island hideaway.
-

Now I’m not one for telling people what to do – unless I married or gave birth to them – but if you fancy it, draw up your own. @mmelindor says she’ll have a go. In fact, she suggested a little linky. So here you go:
