1 - 5 of 100 places I would like to visit in my lifetime

I've decided to post these five at a time so as not to bog the blog down with a huge post. Plus it gives me more time to add places as they occur to me ;-)

In no particular order:

1. The Hollywood Walk of Fame

2. Machu Picchu, Peru

3. Venice

4. Lapland

5. Newgrange, County Meath

88. Visit the four Panopticons in Lancashire

East Lancashire's Panopticons are four unique landmarks that were created to entice people to the countryside. They were all pretty easy to find and well worth a visit.

Colourfields, Corporation Park, Revidge Road, Blackburn, BB1 8AT

I'm glad we did this one first as although the view was lovely, I think it would have been a let down after the other three.

The Singing Ringing Tree, Crown Point, Burnley

Very eerie, especially as the weather took a turn for the worst. Its lonely screeching was haunting to say the least. I think this was my favourite.

The Atom, Wycoller Country Park, Colne, BB8 8SY

...Meanwhile on Mars. I think the weather really added to the atmosphere as the heavens well and truly opened. The huge centre piece was missing but it really didn't matter. There was something really alien about this that I loved.

The Halo, Top O' Slate, Cribden End, Rossendale, BB4 8UB

We left the Halo til last so we could see it lit up. It didn't photograph too well on my little camera and it was really windy up there (as the video shows). I'd like to go back to this one in the daytime as I imagine the views are spectacular.

93. Decorate the littlen's room

Eek this was actually completed way before Christmas but I'm only just getting around to posting about it now.

I let the littlen choose the colours himself and he went for orange and yellow. It is very bright and cheery in there! The paint is from Wilkinsons; Jellybean Orange and Tropical Yellow. It went on like a dream and only needed one coat. After spending most of February re-applying paint to my living room and stairwell, I won't be trying out a different brand again. Still kicking myself over that but I strayed as the other paint was on offfer.

I'm pleased with how it turned out and more importantly, so is he :)

I'm thinking of using the left over 'Jellybean' to paint the downstairs cloakroom to save a few pennies.
