I'm doing 43 things
But still totally worth it! As I don’t have my own garden I got an allotment. I now have potatoes, lettuce, radish, beetroot, celariac, artichoke, spring onions, carrots, tunip, cabbage, brussel sprouts, peas, mangetout, broad beans, peppers, courgettes, swiss chard, squash, sweetcorn and cauliflower growing! I could probably end world hunger…

A bottle of Saint-Émilion: Château Beauséjour-Duffau-Lagarrosse, ranked Premier grand cru classé B wine fans! Originally bought for €95 a number of years ago but currently worth €104. Well I say currently but bottle empty now!
It was rather delicious and well worth the money – makes for depressing drinking when you have to return to the budget buys though…
...I’m going to live in Pompeii back in the day! Nearly didn’t make this one due to train strike in Naples. Waited over 3 hours for trains to start running; God I hated that city! Was worth the wait though. Pompeii even more amazing then I was expecting. If it wasn’t for the large groups of tourists you bump into now and then you would swear you had stepped back in time. I love it when something you learned about in school becomes real! Nerd or what!
