The challenges start ...

Just to be clear - these challenges have been carefully designed by all members of the family to enhance  your 70th year.  They may test your patience (and Mum's!) but they are meant to be enjoyed.  Some are simple and take an hour or less, others are designed to be built on throughout the year.  They cover many areas - science, nature, learning, craft, charity, travel, politics etc

So for October we had:

1.  Set up a blog to record these challenges
2.  Create a memory box of your 70th year
3.  Buy a guitar (ebay sell cheap ones) and learn to play (they also do teach yourself books and discs or you can find lessons on youtube).
4.  Take one photo or do a painting at one location every month to track the changing seasons.
5.  Write the Kosinowskis a letter in German
