I would really love to go skiing in real snow, but for now I've been privileged to have a ski lesson at 'We are Vertigo' and then another one at the ski centre in Manchester on the school trip with Micah. It is going to be fabulous when I get to go on real snow!
We are vertigo...
I have done this once at least, but I really do want to do it again. The book I read was...
What an amazing book! And I went to watch the movie on a weekend with one my bffs Karen - you can tell we enjoyed it!!!
I think writing letters - and by that I mean handwriting letters - is a lost art. It is so lovely to get a handwritten note through the post, so I decided to bring it back and make it one of my challenges. Yes, 101 is a lot, but I write little encouraging notes to our staff at the start of each year, so it won't be as scary as it seems!
And of course I like to make it a little bit fancier with my lovely wax stamp! So far I have done about 30 so I will keep updating as I continue this task.
This has been a dream of mine - to actually hear the whole of Handel's Messiah at Christmas and stand for the Hallelujah chorus... Well this year my hubby made that dream come true and I got to go out and enjoy this amazing piece of work.
I have always wanted to watch Riverdance! Ever since I first saw it on the Eurovision Song contest stage I wanted to be in it - bit of a problem when I can't do Irish dancing! So I'd settle for watching it. But the opportunity never arose, until now.
When I saw the advert for it, my first thought was to take mum and go for our birthdays. Problem was that my sister also had the same thought, so mum ended up going twice! She enjoyed it both times so she didn't mind! We went out for a lovely meal and then enjoyed the best dancing in the world. I'd definitely go again!
My life is full of sports! Between football, rugby, martial arts, hockey, tennis and badminton I've seen a lot of matches and a lot more training sessions! So this may seem like a strange one to be on the list, but I do love watching sport. So here are the live sporting events I've been to so far... and most of them are with Ryan!!
#1 - Ireland rugby - sometime in the early 00s and again on 27/02/2022
Alan and I went down to watch Ireland v Australia years ago, and I loved it, but I can't find any photos from then 😞. However my second experience of watching Ireland came this February when I went to watch Ireland v Italy in Dublin as part of the Six Nations 2022. Ryan and I went down for the day on the train and enjoyed watching Ireland win right in front of us!
#2 - PSG v Monaco - 24/04/2019
Ryan and I went to this match during his AQE trip and the atmosphere was electric! The game didn't start until 9pm so my main worry was making it across Paris after it was over, but the game itself was fabulous. Watching Neimar Jr. and MBappe actually play and score goals in front of us was truly amazing!
#3 - Northern Ireland v Lithuania - 12/11/2021
#4 - Spurs v Morecombe - 09/01/2022
Yet again a match with Ryan! This was a special one but because it was his team - Tottenham Hotspurs playing in the FA cup. At the start the big stars weren't on, but after half time Kane came on along with several others since they weren't winning!! A great day - albeit a long one, since we went and came home on the same day.

#5 - Ulster rugby v Leinster - 12/02/2022
