Trying Fifty Two New Things In Fifty Two Weeks
2024 - The Seventh Year
Trying fifty two new things in fifty two weeks in 2024, which was a leap year! A whole extra day for potential everyday adventures!
I ticked off a few active new things that I have had on my list for several years, and achieved some new goals too. You can click through to read more about any of the new things I tried.
Was this finally the year when I didn’t have around 15 new things to do between Christmas and New Year? I was hoping to be more on the ball, but despite a great start to the year, it didn’t happen.
I still had to cram in a fair few things in the last few days of 2024! Maybe 2025 will be the year?!
