Hi Frugally challenged, thank you so much for sharing your list, I especially like the photograph 60 sunsets from 60 places. I haven't managed to list 60 things yet, I'm still working on that. I will be interested to see your Project seventh decade. It's all about making the most of every single day isn't it xx
ReplyDeleteHi Chickpea
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a list that I could have compiled. Good luck with the challenge, you have some fun to look forward to! I'll be interested to read about your progress. Christina x

Chickpea , you must go and see Men-an-tol soon. I think it is at it's very best when all the spring wild flowers are blooming ! There is a little carpark there and it is a nice easy level walk . On the way you can go and see the Lanyon Quoit and also a Sacred Tree all bedecked with clouties/ribbons and things. Take a picnic :)
