Carol - I love it!
Can I pinch the idea and do Things I want to do before I am 80!!!
I've got a few more years to achieve that but then I shall need it because nothing happens quickly at my age - please say I can pinch the idea!
That waxwing photo is quite something - there have been a few around Richmond - my friend, who is a keen birder, took about twenty photographs of them - then found that she had left the memory card in her computer!
Do hope you achieve the things on your list - maybe one of the hardest is to lose weight - I am afraid middle aged spread sets in at about that time (I still have it - so still consider myself middle aged).
Inspired! I hope you will leave a link on Wendy's blog or Facebook site. I should follow suit, though I have a few extra months to play with.
Carol,
Suggest you delete/amend No.19 otherwise you may not get the chance to do the next 31!!!

Weaver - of course you can pinch the idea. I pinched it off Wendy!
Coastcard - I tried to post the link but couldn't or else I don't know how to. Anyway, I'll email you with a copy of it.
DM - I'll ask Joyce before I eat it. I trust her!
That is superb - but just in case, please leave number 19 until the very last!
Superb!
