My list of things to do before I am 40
When I first started thinking about my things to put on my 40 at 40 list, flying in a helicopter was high up on it. To see hills I’ve climbed from a birds eye view was a must. Advertisements
July So half through the year and my big birthday!! The year has flown by and cannot believe that had completed 30 things off my list.
