Sailing is something I&#8217;ve always enjoyed, and I went along to Draycote water a couple of years ago (that&#8217;s where I drew the picture) but decided it was too expensive, but this year I think I&#8217;ll do it anyway. I also want to get into doing archery, and I might try out some shooting as well (I was in the gun club at Warwick Uni for one year, but never actually went along to anything!).<\/p>\n<p>The other thing I&#8217;ve wanted to do for ages is fly a helicopter. When the RAF came to school I asked them about it but I wouldn&#8217;t have been able to fly for them because of my short sightedness. But one day I want to be able to fly one privately.<\/p>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s about a million other things I want to do, like travelling round the world (Estonia is high on the list, followed by the rest of Europe &#8211; as I&#8217;ve never been there yet), getting in a band, learning to do oil paintings properly, ride a horse, sail round the UK, invent something and live off the royalties, write a novel, win the booker prize, become prime minister&#8230; Oh, perhaps I&#8217;m getting a bit carried away&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I shared a house with Dave and Mark they kept trying to persuade me to go climbing, but I never did.
