Pick Me Up! Special

Bright side o f life

Getting under the duvet, I quickly started reading before a question lingered in the air.

‘Should I make a bucket list?’ my hubby Darrell, now 57, asked in October 2021.

‘I think it could be a good idea,’ I said, knowing all the wild things that Darrell was going to suggest.

‘We could see Ed Sheeran, I could race a Jag around Silverstone, we could book a cruise, tour the UK in a motorhome, take the girls to Disneyland…’ Darrell listed.

And I knew the last one was something that our girls Phoebe, 12, and Molly, 10, would love the most.

‘And you know those speed camera vans that park up around town?’ Darrell asked. ‘I’m going pull a moonie at one.’

‘Sure you are!’ I laughed, knowing Darrell’s tongue and cheek personality – there was no way that he would actually do something like that, it was just a way of adding something bonkers to the list.
