19. Go horseriding on a beach

I’ve done it, I’ve done it, I’ve done it!!!  I’ve finally galloped full speed along a beach on horseback.  I think out of everything on my list this is probably going to be the best, it’s going to take a lot to top this.  

On trying to find somewhere to do this (surprisingly few accessible places in the UK) I stumbled on a stables that turned out to be a stone’s throw away from my brother’s place in East Lothian.  W

eather had initially not looked promising but turned out to be rather lovely and after a walk and trot down to the dunes we got onto the beach where the horses were let to do as they please and go full pelt.  

The sense of elation, enjoyment and adrenaline in me is something I’ve not experienced for a very long time.  Sore knees and thighs to prove for it!  Just amazing, loved it.  Forgotten how much I enjoy horseriding!

With just under 2 months until I hit the magic 3.0. I have eight left to go (of which 5 are well in the making already!)

13. Learn to say the alphabet backwards fast

A Sunday with nothing to do led to this video….embarrassing but evidence that I’ve done it.  I’m sure with just the right quantity of alcohol in me I can do it again (I did technically do it on my last birthday but lacked proper evidence to tick it off). 

Finally into single figures...9 left!
