101 things list
Time to get started on my list of 101 things to do. My list was in part inspired by a book called 101 Places You Gotta See Before You're 12! by Joanne O'Sullivan. Of course its a bit late! More like before you're 50 in my case!!! And my daughter is eleven and a half so in her case she wouldn't have long to see all these things before she hit twelve.
