Mine is to climb Everest.

Never going to happen, but it's still my goal! I'll settle for seeing it in the flesh... maybe...

To win an Olympic medal! I’m 44, slightly overweight and not overly sporty. I’m now thinking it’ll have to be in something like shooting, curling or bowls. Never done any of them yet...

To own an estate with a pheasant shoot for husband and a lovely big farm house and not have to work. That's the dream

I would love to run an ultra marathon. And I would also love to own and run a horse yard and ride competitively again. I’m so broken and injured from previous competitive sports tho that it’s never gonna happen 😕 I would also love to be a University speaker and travel the world lecturing on my specialist subject (I have no idea what that would be 😂). I would also love to have my photography recognised and published somewhere. Anywhere!

Oh, to win the lottery, have an abundance of money, train to be a disaster planner, be awesome at it, manage the shit out of a natural disaster that I warned everyone about but no-one in power listened would take seriously, people will write books about me, there will be a movie, there will not be one mention of my meglomaniac inclinations.
