10. Run amok in the entirety of the UK pretending to be a faery
11. Sit on a beach in Morocco and drink mint tea
12. Actually talk like a pirate on International Talk Like A Pirate Day (19 September!)
13. Patch, splint and help as many people as I will medically be able to do
14. Travel on horseback across the country
15. Meet Monty Python, thank them and give them all hugs
16. Learn the trades of plumbling, electric work and masonry
17. Learn how to talk to a car
18. Learn how to reason with a car
19. Pick olives from an olive tree
20. Grow rosemary, jasmine, bergamot and almonds for a living
21. Spend the night in a barn just to wake up and smell like hay and horses
22. Wake up at midnight on the Summer Solstice, spend the whole day enjoying the amount of sunshine and don't go to sleep until midnight again

That's part of what Her Grace would like to do and accomplish in the world. What about you? Have you thought on it too much? Have you not paid any attention to it at all? You're never too old to start living!

In Sunshine and Cathartic Rain,
Her Grace
