My Bucket List

Over the past few weeks in lockdown I have been trying to get out as much as possible to explore the local countryside and woodland on my daily walk. Each time I have been out I have tried to take inspirational photographs during my walk and post to my social media accounts. I hope you are all enjoying seeing those. One thing I have been thinking about more and more in recent days is my bucket list. My original bucket list was quite short and many of those things I have now managed to achieve, and this made me feel that I needed to set some new goals. 

This got me thinking and so I asked myself the question, “how many things should you have on your bucket list?” – I searched this on Google and the top answer was 101. Yes, 101! My initial thoughts were “WOW 101 things” – that is completely unrealistic, but then I thought, actually no, it isn’t. So I then got to work compiling my list of 101 things (I am including everything from my original list, whether they are completed items or not).
