My husband and I recently returned from a two-week vacation to the U.K. We both have a lot of ancestors from England and Scotland (and Ireland, but that’s for another trip). Before we left, my hubby did a lot of family history research to find places that we should visit with family ties. Because of his research and the fact that he hadn’t been to Britain before, he found places he hadn’t realized were on his bucket list that became very important for him to visit and see (I think we made it to all of them). This was my second trip to the U.K., and I had a few of very specific places I wanted to go that I had missed the first time: Bath, Stonehenge, and the Scottish highlands. We made it to all three. Check, check, and check.
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO OF ACCOMPLISHING A BUCKET LIST ITEM OR THAT YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH IN THE FUTURE.
Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
Here’s how it works:
- Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
- To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ and “Photo a Week” tags.
- Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.
- Follow nancy merrill photography so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements.

Nice but I don’t have a real bucket list myself!
Glad you like the photo. 🙂 You don’t have to have an official bucket list to have things you really want to do or places you want to see sometime in your life. I haven’t written mine down, and I don’t obsess over it. Most of the things I really want to accomplish or see involve my family and traveling to places my ancestors came from. 😀
This place is SO certainly on my list! 🙂
It’s amazing, because it’s sits really close to the road, so we were driving along, following the GPS, and suddenly it was there.
Can’t go wrong with that way of discovering! 🙂
Just brilliant! How lovely you and your husband were able to visit your fave places. Fab post Nancy! 😀
What a wonderful trip! I need to figure out more of my family history and get myself over there! 🙂
It’s a great place to visit, even if you don’t have family ties. 😀
Family history is one reason I have always wanted to go to Ireland.
Ireland is next (along with a few missed places in Scotland, like the Isle of Skye and making it to Linlithgow Palace during open touring times). 🙂
Well done on your bucket list!

Sounds like fun!
Well done, Nancy. I’ve never been to Scotland, but Stone Henge a few times, and Bath many decades ago.

My first post Nancy to your challenge, I look forward to doing some more, strictly not a bucket list, more on a to do list: http://wp.me/p5g0uU-l
My bucket list is really more of a to-do list as well. I don’t have anything formally written down, just things I want to do and places I want to see. 🙂 Thanks for joining the challenge!
your trip is on my bucket list. It sounds like you had an absolutely Wonderful trip. Also sounds like a very busy 2 weeks! 🙂

There is something in the air near Stonehenge, feels like everything stands still and silent or slow. I love this place and the Salisbury church near is so magnificent
We didn’t see the church. Just something else to see the next time we go!
