Melanie’s bucket list has ‘profound’ effect

Melanie Staunton, 39, of Bruce Avenue, Goring, has split her list into three categories – ‘having fun, personal challenges and work stuff’.

Following the death of her brother at the end of 2012, Melanie said the last year ‘felt like I was walking through treacle’.

“I didn’t really go anywhere or see anything, so I thought this year I’m going to do things,” she said.

Melanie came up with a list of 30 ideas and asked her Facebook friends to suggest ideas for the final ten spots.

Items include going on the London Eye, raising £1,000 for charity and having salsa lessons.
