loves and must-tries

Things I love to do:
  • swimming
  • roller skating
  • kites and kiteboarding
  • sailing
  • fireworks
  • gardening (although I've never really mastered it - I don't have the patience!)
  • cooking and baking
  • surfing (my newest love - read about my trip to Devon here)
  • walking in the countryside (Derbyshire, the Lake District, Breacon Beacons, etc)
  • flying (big planes/small planes/whatever)
  • karate (I'm revisiting an old passion, read about it here)
  • travel to new countries
  • eating! (especially different foods from different places around the world)

Things I've never done before but would love to try:
  • make sushi
  • watch a ballet (I used to dance and would love to see a full ballet)
  • learn a style of dancing with a partner (like salsa or some-type of ballroom)
  • swim in open water - maybe even take part in one of the Great Swim events
  • or maybe even try an aquathlon
  • a rat race (as if I'd ever be fit enough!)
  • skiing - I did a one day lesson at the SnowZone, but I'd love to go on a skiing holiday to do it properly
  • horse-riding trek across a mountain range like the Pyrenees
  • speak another language well enough to get by (or, ideally, fluently)
  • crochet or knit something!
New additions to the list:
  • get involved in some type of team sport - any ideas as to what?!
  • spend an evening star gazing
  • holiday by myself
I plan to edit and add to this list regularly, and all suggestions will be gratefully received!
