Not so much a blog as a progress of record. The Glorious Decade is my version of those 'things to do before...' lists that we all make. The aim is to complete this list before the 31st of December 2019.

Plenty of time...

I have split the list into ten sections:

1. Travel and Holidays
2. Nature and the Countryside
3. Adventures/ Big Days Out
4. Food and Drink
5. Life
6. Things to Make and Do
7. Literature
8. Arts and Culture
9. Britain
10. The Really Quite Difficult

If you have any suggestions or want to debate or celebrate any of my choices. If you have done some of them and want to offer help or advice. Drop me a comment or two in the comment boxes.

Here are the 100 targets for The Glorious Decade.

68. Ladybird, Ladybird

I am a big fan of Ladybird books. I have a small collection. I would like a large collection.

The books form a section of the history of childhood in this country. They are also a fascinating form of social history in themselves. There were well over 600 different titles published in the fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties - many are very rare. I am not interested in collecting first editions or expensive oddities as it is the contents and not the value of the books that interests me. I am not going to start paying large sums of money for them but I would like to take my collection from about one hundred to the four hundred mark by visiting a few jumble sales and charity shops.
