Let the fun commence!

In this year of my 50th Birthday, 2015, I plan to acomplish 50 things I have never done before.

I have styled this as my 50/50.

The list currently stands at 35 and will grow as the year progresses. Some of the acomplishments are singular events like 'Attending the Last Night of The Proms', others will be spread through the year, such as 'Learning to play the Piano' through to 'Cooking 50 recipes I have never tried before' and 'Sampling every Real Ale brewed in West Sussex'. I aim to publish the embryonic list this evening with periodic progress updates when I acomplish or contribute to anything off of my list. Wish me luck!
