Are any of these on YOUR bucket list?
Only started travelling recently, since getting dementia! Still I have a bucket list of sorts. I love your bucket list but see you don’t have Iceland on there, or Russia?

Your blog is so interesting and inspiring, Gill! Bless you for starting it. <3 Iceland is on my list but it's actually crossed out because I visited a few years ago! :) It didn't disappoint at all, it's one of my favourite countries!
Russia I actually have a funny relationship with, because I find it fascinating, but I don't want to visit while they are oppressing people's rights (I hate getting political but at the moment it's hard not to!). Unfortunately that seems to apply to so many countries recently, but it's sad that such a powerful first world country seems to be going backwards. I'm sure some people will disagree with my thoughts there!
