This Ruth Is On Fire: Summer Bucket List 2015

With summer coming just round the corner (although you wouldn't believe that on this grey and windy day in May) I have decided to create a mini summer bucket list for 2015 listing all the activities that I'd like to do and places I'd like to go.

I feel like I can find merit in all the seasons we have here in the UK, I love wrapping up warm in the winter, I love those sunny but cold days we have in the autumn and I love the colours and freshness of spring but there is something about the summer months that makes everything seem illuminated. We tend to all be more open to things in the summer such as impromptu visits to the beach or sitting in the garden until late just ~~drinking~~ chatting- I always feel like there is a sense of adventure in the air.

Last summer was not as carefree as summers should be with starting a new job, moving into our flat and trying to save as much money as possible so I've decided that summer 2015 is going to be an absolute corker and I've written this list to encourage me to squeeze in as many fun activities over June- August as I possibly can!

I am writing this list on Saturday 9th May 2015 and I shall review it again on Saturday 19th September to see how successful I was in completing it:

1. Attend a music festival
2. Carry lanterns at the Aldeburgh carnival

3. Go punting in Cambridge
4. Visit Edinburgh
5. Attend at least one (ideally two) Pride weekend(s)
