360 on a snowboard, endless wheely on a bike (I tried to learn this one in lockdown - failed), write (finish writing…) a book.
No travelling buckets, not a traveller |

I have always wanted to try driving a tank on an army range!
Or going for a short ride in a proper big submarine.
Or doing the weightless thing in outer space.
Other than those, more travel to places like Ireland, Jersey, The Netherlands, Scotland, Austria and a few other places.
And more castles to play my harp inside. That one I might actually achieve. |

Scotland has plenty of castles.
You made me think there. You could play your harp at the head of Glencoe on a misty day, that would be eerily haunting then drive up to Eilean Donan castle. |

Lots of impossible things I’d love to play flamenco guitar well, piano, speak more languages fluently, make things out of silver and metals, all the things that take decades of hard work and skills I don’t have and can’t get for years 
If you desire to travel just do it, anywhere on the globe is easy , only you are stopping you. Or jump out a plane , surf, dead easy, a one week course , snowboard , handstand push ups a month or two, most things are easy if you really want them. |

I'd also like to visit a steak restaurant I saw on one of those food programmes with Fred Sirieix. It was in northern Spain and they only sold steak, nothing else. All you get is a steak about 2 inches thick cooked over coals at an angle. |

Spend a night in a lighthouse with someone special, listening to the waves crash as our bodies are entwined and lips passionately kissing, hours of sensual intimate sex  |

There's a wonderful website called Leaf Peepers, tells you the best places to see the autumn leaves, try the White Mountains trail too |

Barcelona is fab! X
Yes it is. But Madrid!"
I preferred Barcelona! I likened it to Glasgow, whereas Madrid was more like Edinburgh! |

I've done the parachute jumo, piloting planes, walked the West Highland Way, and most of my travel destinations (Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam), and was supposed to visit Rome, Naples & Pompeii in 2020, before the world turned to shite.
I'd like to think I might still manage that, and visit Spain, but it's whether the body will cope.
Oh, and I've been published. |

I wouldn't have the money to travel to these places for some years. Just a pipe dream.  |

Money stops people. All the things you mention cost a lot (except for doing handstands). |

Although Asia is my priority in future, I have urge to go unusual places, like Greenland, St Helena etc. Been Iceland years ago which was on my bucket list, ticked that off |

Goto Heathrow and look at the departure board without a destination in mind...pick a flight to what ever place takes your fancy at that moment in time. (Knowing my luck it'll be full ) |

I know exactly what you mean.
It is harder to find pinxto places in Barca though. I could quite happily spend a full day in either the San Miguel tapas market or Museo de jambon. |

An alternative would be to get a flight to Greece then go Island hopping. |

I take it you don't mean the Blantyre in Lanarkshire then.  |

For my 50th, stay in a beautique hotel with 4 poster bed suite. Visit the onsite spa, with his and hers massage. Posh meal on birthday with cake. In the lake district, with drives and walks around. - a girl can dream. |
