In my 60th year I decided it was high time I learnt how to swim and I did it but haven't really swum since. This year I am thinking I would like to have a ride on a horse as I have never done it but I don't really have any other exciting things except perhaps a hole in one!

I started a bucket list for my 50th birthday - I can only remember 2 one was to learn to drive - tick - the other was to learn to sail - not ticked. So I suppose I could do that I am 70 next Feb.

Whilst I agree with the sentiment FlicketyB it's not always practical smile
I would really like to see the Grand Canyon and swim with a dolphin but I can't act on those immediately, for practical and financial reasons.

I burden yourself with a bucket list of things you HAVE to do in a given year.

Just pick up all the 'I really would like to do that one day' moments that arise in that year and act on them immediately.

In September 2016 I will be 70. I thought that from my 69 onwards I would make a bucket list of things I want to do in that year. I fully realise some won't be accomplished but I wondered if you could help me make my list, or tell me what would be on your list.

No. 1 stay for a few nights at a FarmUk B & B
No. 2 celebrate my birthday somewhere my 2 GSs would enjoy, such as a Zoo. They will be 5 and 3 by then.
No. 3 etc.
