Number 37: Visit every county in the UK - Suffolk

Last month, I met up with my parents for lunch whilst they were en-route to Norwich for a few days.  After lunch we ventured over to Thetford, the home of Dad's Army, to take a look around.

Whilst the museum was shut, as was pretty much the entirety of Thetford, we still had a lovely afternoon pottering around.

Number 11: Try one “out of my comfort zone” exercise class

This challenge is a bit of a misleading one - any exercise class at all is very out of my comfort zone.  Bearing this in mind, I thought I should "stick to what I know" and having done ballet until I was 17 I thought Barre Concept would be a good fit.

The nearest class to me is held in the yoga centre in the centre of town and after the initial challenge of finding the way in (through the mysterious purple door), I've been set.  

Don't get me wrong, the class is pretty tough (especially with my level of fitness) but it's also really good fun, with an excellent soundtrack!  And it's nice to know that I've remembered a few of the steps, even after an eight year hiatus!

Number 15: Give blood as frequently as possible for 6 months



At the start of January, full of New Year vigour, I decided it was high time to start giving blood regularly.

I found a donation session happening the next day, just round the corner from home and went along.  It was really easy to do, didn't take very long and involved a large amount of biscuits (always excellent!).

Number 37: Visit every county in the UK - Norfolk

A few months ago, a group of us set out on a little adventure to do some seal-spotting in Norfolk.  Horsey has a huge seal colony and when we went, it was full of super cute little pups.  I could have stayed watching for hours (if it'd been a little warmer!), they're so comical!

Number 17: Watch 10 Audrey Hepburn films - Roman Holiday



Whenever I'm feeling a little low, I reach for my Audrey Hepburn box set - instant happiness restorer.  Last weekend I put on Roman Holiday - the perfect fairytale story (with the most amazing costumes).  And if anyone could let me know where to get a lighter that's actually a camera that would be excellent...
