Top 40 Things to Do After 40

40 Things to Do After 40Top 40 Things to do After your 40

I recently ran a competition that involved people telling me what their ‘Ultimate Thing to do after 40 was’.  I had nearly 300 suggestions so thought I’d compile a list of my favourite Top 40 Things to do After your 40.  I personally don’t have a bucket list as I think it would put too much pressure on me.  I plan on enjoying a few glasses of wine and for once in my life feeling comfortable in my own skin.  However, I’m now intrigued to try a few of these.

  1. Travel, travel, travel

We’re going on a Raindrop Hunt!

It rains 1 day out of 3 in the UK.  I know I’ve researched it.  So we have to make the most of it.  Last week, when it had just stopped raining,  I armed my 5 year old daughter with my camera phone and we went for a walk in search of rain drops. 

It was brilliant, however, it took fricking ages to get to Sainsbury’s.

What do you do with your kids in the rain?  Would love some inspiration.

Things to do outdoors no matter what the weather!

I’m always desperate to get Madame to play outside in the garden more.  However, are garden is the size of a postage stamp and really not that appealing.

The other night I was cooking dinner and to amuse her, while I was busy, I passed her this book with a few post it notes and asked her to mark the activities she liked.
