This was my list:
1. Long weekend to Venice - went and had THE most fantastic time with Hugh.
2. See my first ballet - went with Wendy and Sue - brilliant and magical.
3. Last night of the proms in Hyde Park - this didn't happen, but I replaced it with going up to
London with Penny to do the BJG Dream Jar Trail which was great fun.

12. Meet up with my college friends - oh goodness this was fun! Met up in December - 5 of the
'girls' and 5 of the 'boys'. We hadn't all been together for 30 years but honestly it could have
been 30 minutes we all got on so well together.

13. Read at least one book each month - I read and read this year and thoroughly enjoyed it.
14. At least one day out with Wendy and Sue - we went to the ballet and we also went to a craft

days booked already!

15. Meet up with my school friends, Jane and Ann - my 2 besties from school and we still get on
like best friends. A wonderful afternoon having the most delicious tea and just talking non-stop.
And here are a few photos illustrating some of the fun things I got up to in 2016 - the year I turned 50.

You have some lovely things on your list and I'm glad that you feel able to switch things around or even change them if necessary. I particularly love that you swapped dinner with Hugh for a trip to Mauritius!
Sounds like a lovely year, and it always pays to be flexible about your plans!
Well done for achieving so much! Xx
It looks and sounds like you had a great time in 2016 x
Sounds like it was a very full year. Glad you wre able to get them all in or at least swap outs for the originals.
How super to do be able to look back and see how you've achieved so many of your aims this year - and a clutch of happy photos to show for it all too! Will you make a scrapbook of it?
