Title: Bucket List
Post by: Sandy on September 06, 2011, 07:11:14 pm
Now talking about my love of buckets,  I thought of a bucket list, that is things you want to do before you die, I have no intention to go just yet but who knows when or where, so, I am going to think up some things I want to do before I don't get the chance!!

My first would be to visit my family in Austrailia, I just spoke to my eldest daughter today and so want to go even more to visit and be part of the family again, my middle daughter is emigrating there soon too, they will all 3 be together next week for her book launch, thats been one hell of a roller coster ride for her, my copy is on its way, so thats the reason for my sentiments currently  :'(

I'd like some more extremely luxurious weekends away just me & my hubby, he's booked us surprise weekends away in some of the best hotels in the past and it's lovely, child free, stress free in beautiful surroundings! Bliss!

I'm a bit like blue eyes in my wish list. we had our 4 children very close together and had only known each other about a year before we found out the eldest was on her way so I'd like to spend some time with hubby.
Next year we have a 2 night (child free!!!) stay in a genuine gypsy vardo in the black mountains, monmouth for our 10th wedding anniversary. I'd also like to research my gypsy background more and the older generations in my family clam up about it (very sad)

I'd also like to have a wedding reception!! I missed my own wedding reception in march 2002 because my then 4 month old baby started vomitting on the way to the reception (wedding was in Bucks, reception 90 miles away in worcester thanks to awkward family's...) so i sat in a hotel room with pukey girl while ;hubby tried to convince his jeering mates that he actually had met someone and got married  ::)  never got that first dance  :(

Wow, that will be an interesting family research task, not sure how easy it is, I am struggling with my gran who was originaly from Ireland....I have always found the Gypsy way of life very interesting and worked a lot with them on and off, things change and give them a bad name, I think the Gypsy wedding programme and Paddy on C BB are doing a good job to help people understand. The camps I knew also attracted people who tagged onto them and caused problems!!!! THat wedding reception will be achieved!!

Try and drive an old landrover to the top of snowdonia - and then get done for motoring offences  - though I think thats been done this week :)

I'd like to go to the Grand National, the Monaco Grand Prix and the Champions League final when Chelsea beat Man U with a penalty conceded by Wayne Rooney in the last minute. ;D
