The List....

So here it is. I spent three days writing this and it really was a labour of love....and quite possibly hate. Getting up to about 50 or so wasn't too bad. After that I struggled. It's a hell of a lot harder than I first thought. I've really tried to make it achievable for the most part, I could easily have made a list of all the exotic places I wanted to visit and fancy restaurants I wanted to eat in but the reality is, I'd barely have been able to manage ten of those, never mind 101.
