Following the success of my 50 Fabulous things in a year to celebrate my 50th birthday, I have decided to mark the occasion of my big 60, (coming up in 2 1/2 years), by completing a list of 60 things. The 60 by 60 list is a mixture of new skills to learn, experiences I’ve yet to have and places I’ve been meaning to visit but haven’t got around to yet.
I made a start at the end of summer and I’ve already ticked off quite a few things, but before I start writing about my experiences so far I thought I’d share a few posts about the fair city I call home.
About a year ago I bought this book 111 places in Bristol that you shouldn’t miss. Having lived in Bristol for the majority of my life you would think that I had seen it all. But after an initial flick through the pages, I discovered there are quite a few places I either wasn’t aware of, or knew about and have never checked out.
But in the last 57 years I have managed to cobble together a few experiences I think may be worth sharing with my merry band of followers and some of them overlap with the 60 by 60 theme. I have added the book to my list of 60 things to try and visit the remaining places in the book.
