Bucket List


Robert and I love to travel and I like to keep track of the places we'd like to visit. Following is our Bucket List.

I borrowed the idea for this page from a young blogger who was participating in the 2016 A-Z Blogging Challenge.

Copied below is the list I previously had in Evernote and which I will now endeavour to update here.
Activities completed are striked through

Is there anything we should add?

  1. What a great bucket list. You are way more adventurous than me. I'd love to go to Scandinavia, Russia and Ireland plus more of Scotland, Wales and the UK and America. Could easily go back to Canada again - I love the west coast but probs should do the east coast too. Still so much of Australia to see. Would be happy to go anywhere really but particularly want to go to 1770 and see the lighthouse where one of my ancestors worked as a teacher. And spend more time in Melbourne and of course the wonderful Blue Mountains. I miss them the most.

  2. Thanks for commenting Alex. I'm hoping these pages tell my descendants a bit about me when I'm gone.

  3. Noticed Highclere on your bucket list. My 1C3R Dick Dawson was the racehorse trainer for Lord Carnavon. You might like to read my post.

    Richard and his wife honeymooned at one of the cottages on the estate.
