I want to try 12 new things this year

Last year was a bit blah, for various reasons. So, to change things up a bit this year, one of my new year's resolutions is to try one new thing a month. I'm limited to five hours during school days, which has ruled out a six hour wet felt bowl making course I wanted to go on, as well as learning to throw an axe (which I was seriously tempted by) once you add in travel time. But I'm sure there are loads of other things out there I could do.

So far my list has -

visit the Mary Rose museum - local-ish to me and when I went (eons ago) I saw the Victory and the Warrior but the Mary Rose museum was being revamped, and I think it's about time I made the effort to finish the set

a massage - not new as such, just new to the post children me, so I think that counts (my children are both teenagers)

trying a new exercise class at my gym - a very January type goal I thought

a candle making course

… and my inspiration has dried up.

Any ideas anyone? I'd also like ideas for new things I could try at home, not cooking because we're quite adventurous with trying new meals, but other ideas would be most welcome Smile

@morejumpingfrogs And minus a finger or two Wink I think some aquariums in the UK offer experiences too if you were interested and going away at some point.

Adding orienteering/geo caching, quilling and morris dancing and stained glass classes if I can find one Smile

Oh the UK - not quite as exotic as I was picturing Grin Still, much more doable, so will get hunting to see if there's anywhere local because that would be such a cool thing to do!
