Lifelong ambitions

Annodomini. I didn't understand your question mark. Did you ever go on one of the old ferries. Wonderful vessels.

Keep swimming joannapiano!

I used to 'surf' at Newquay when I was young (body board, not standing up), great fun!

I wish we had saved to buy a caravan on Mudeford Quay.

However most years we have an idyllic week in the New Forest and visit Mudeford for a crab sandwich and a cider, a quick boat trip and then we walk up to Hengisbury Head.

So all in all I am grateful that I am well enough to do the climb up H H and enjoy the fabulous view.

To be a better person, and be part of helping people down on their luck

I hope to live to see some of my great-grandchildren - but not too soon, please.

Well, not really a life-long ambition, but I would love to go across Canada on the train and also wish to travel to New York on the Queen Mary. Not likely to happen but we can but dream.......

Just keep pretending you're out of your depth Joanna, and get used to floating around on your back. It worked for me. (Still haven't got my tattoo done!)

Bellasnana I too would love to go across Canada on the train, not likely to happen but dreams are good. I would also like to travel on the Orient Express from London to Venice - a friend did this, enjoyed it but said it was not very comfortable, so you can't have everything evidently.

Yes, I would like to do the Canadian trip, or the train journey from Darwin down to Adelaide, or the Orient Express, in fact anything as long as it's first class of course!

For ages I have wanted to go down a zipwire! Last summer, whilst I was with the grandchildren in their local park play area, I looked at the zipwire then at my SIL and asked him, 'What do you reckon?' 'Go for it', he said, so I did!! As I'm the size and weight of a child I thought I'd get away with it without getting us all thrown out! Brilliant fun

My other ambition - impossible - is to have to 'Mind your head'!

I'm another one who would love to do the "across Canada by train" trip, although I'm told by friends who have done it that the middle bit is very boring - once you've seen one hour of prairies you've seen enough. Apparently the two ends of the line are amazing but forget about the middle

Minimouse, I did that too, but sadly came off the zipwire halfway across and landed like granny pig in a muddy puddle, much to the hilarity of DGDs and their other granny! (it was very near the ground luckily, probably due to the extra weight)

Oh dear, rosequartz, I hope you haven't starred in a YouTube video!

Me too, must check, I was very inelegant! Never elegant at the best of times. It gave them a laugh anyway.
