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.

75. Singing Ringing Tree




Up on a hill, above Burnley, sits the Singing Ringing Tree. (sorry that wasn't meant to rhyme - it sounded a bit like a children's tv theme) (sorry - that half rhyme was also unintentional)
Anyway...
The Singing Ringing Tree is a great example of the 'put a big lump of something somewhere for the people' school of sculpture. A great example in that unlike many it is rather imaginative and quite a bit of fun. The tubes position is designed so that it makes a low, sweet song on the hill, but that one that will not upset local wildlife.
So I would like to walk up there and hear it sing.
