What's your Bucket List?



This film inspired one of my friends to find out what her father's Bucket list was. She has just organised a special trip to The Proms which he had always longed to do. Unfortunately in spite of her buying a ticket that cost hundreds there was a mix up and he had to stand throughout - but he wouldn't have missed it for the world.

He was devoted to Mark Twain so - on a trip to his other daughter in the States, she arranged a paddle at trip on the Mississipi.
Back in Blighty she arranged for him to attend a Reunion of WW2 evacuees in London where they were honoured.

A relative of her father was one of the glider pilots at Arnheim who lost his life and she arranged for her father to visit his grave. Now her father is loth to tell her any more wishes as he feels it is too expensive for her.

I asked MTL but he was feeling skittish and said he was making the coffee and trying to take his tablets and finally said 'Grow a moustache!'

For myself - I'd love to have my book published - my # 1 son and grandson arive tonight- what more could I ask? Just more of the same please.

What about you? Do you have a Bucket List or are trying to fill a loved one's?
