Other than having my two children, opening my new Maud's Ice Cream shop
in Antrim Street within 10 days of getting the keys and having access to

Snow Patrol, Amy Winehouse, Duffy, that kind of thing.

Travelling through Borneo on a traditional wooden boat to see the
Orangutans. Can't really beat that.

Going to South Africa or Alaska to see the humpback whales migrating.
