Mark's Birthday!

As you may well know, February 13th marked the completion of Marks 21st year as a human being. To celebrate this rite of passage into manhood, Mark and myself embarked on a wee adventure, the idea being that Mark would have to try 21 new things that he’d never done before. We kicked off the marathon with a church bell-ringing lesson, and then we headed south to Bath, where Mark tried his hand at Capoeira (the instructor made him fight every person in the class as a birthday ‘treat’!!). We spent a leisurely evening in a naturally heated, open-air, roof top pool – it was absolute bliss, and very hard to leave. Other ‘firsts’ included eating worms (a delicacy in some parts), perching ourselves in a pleasant spot and painting a canvas (the rain and the spectators made for an interesting challenge), climbing in a converted church, enjoying a champagne breakfast with family - the list goes on, but we still need a couple more activities in order to make it to the big Two One, so any suggestions are welcome!
