Inspired by a recent comment of Dr Livingstone"s, I'm wondering what we GUPs have on our bucket lists? (that is, top things we want to do before we kick the bucket)!
Number one on my bucket list is to visit Italy...... for real, not just on Google Earth!!
Whether I get to go or not, it's almost as much fun dreaming, thinking and reading about it.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Back on The Turn of the Millenium my Walking Group rose early Pre dawn to see in The New Dawn from Waikuku Beach. We set up there to view a wondrous spectacle that was not a spectacle as by sunrise we were shrouded in cloud and grey.We sombrely breakfasted from barbecues and reflected on what might have been. and then did a great local walk. For me every bright new sunrise heralds a New Dawn, a new Start. So what if that one was a little sombre There have been many more in nearly ten years. CARPE DIEM.biggrin so Bucket Lise A bright new Dawn.!
