If you need any help with that one ........bear in mind though...I don't drink tea or coffee, so you'll have to brew your own

Really wanted to be a midwife...couldn't bear the thought of those wee souls that didn't make it

So had five of my own instead......soon knocked that thought out of my head

Would definitely like to live amongst other cultures - like South Korea and Japan

The deep south in America too 

To be able every morning to step down off my verandah onto warm pink sands ...and shallow dive into clear blue waters...
Possibly on my own private island

What were you studying?

I remember watching 'Gone with the wind' when I was young and wanting to be Scarlett ....wearing glamorous dresses
Bought the dvd in the 90's which had an intermission cos of it being a 4 hour film.........sat for ages waiting for it to start the second half, not realising I had to flip the disc

Last cruise my Dad was on, his companion came off on a stretcher, plus he spent the following two weeks in bed
They completely missed seeing any of Australia except from the balcony of their cabin because of being unwell.

Don't think I'd like to go on a cruise...all those people

Yes , Mr B always fancied a river cruise …..and we had planned a cruise around Scotland’s isles etc ., but sadly things moved to fast in the end , and we never got there .

I'm sorry to hear that

Could you not go with a relative or friend?
We could always do the Exmouth river cruise when you come to visit

The only friend I could persuade to go would my best friend ….we used to go on some lovely trips ….but sadly life circumstances have put that on hold for the foreseeable future ……and anyway , tbh I am not sure how I’d feel going without Mr B . But a cruise down the Ex sounds good .

It's a date

Living on a canal for a year - off the grid - sounds amazing.

I'd like to visit every state in America - cruise into the sunset on a Harley

Driving through the USA would be an adventure that's for sure, but the canal would be my choice of the two Velvet....life at 4mph
