What to say? I guess I have to say that I have been pretty lucky in my life... looking through the 'Top Lists' of people's Bucket Lists I have ticked a lot of boxes: I have played my sports (hockey and rugby) to really high levels (internatonal and divisional); Compete to County level at Cricket, Golf, Archery and Clay Pigeon shooting; have spent the last 12 months playing in one of the best brass bands in the world - playing venues like the Royal Albert Hall; I've married and honeymooned in the Maldives where we swam with (small) sharks and turtles; We bought and renovated a house; We have been to New York and climbed the Empire State; Holidayed in Rome and seen the Colluseum, Vatican and Sistine Chapel; I've skinny dipped; Slept under the stars; grown (and kept) a beard; Bungee jumped; Seen some GREAT live gigs; Been a best man; Walked the Pennine Way; Paid off my debts (apart from the mortgage lol); Rescued a Springer Spaniel; Drank Dom Perignon; Been to Venice and played a concert in St Mark's Square; Climbed the Eiffel Tower; Been to university; Eaten oysters and drank Guinness in Dublin; Been skiing; Owned and compete in trials bike competitions (and auditioned for Kick Start lol); Raced a Lotus round Brands Hatch..... But there is SOOOOO much more I need to do! Ultimately 'what I want out of life' is to be happy, make my friends and family happy, have a happy family and live life to it's fullest. But I've stll got a whole lotta boxes to tick on this Bucket List!
