I went up the Tower a couple of years ago on a warm July day. I will never forget it. I’d spent a week on a boat in Norway and then four days in Paris. I hope you found some good cheese in Paris. I had the best cheese of my life there.
Take care — I am in awe of what you’re doing!
Reply You lied. The rain proves that you are in Blackpool despite the superimposed European stars on it.
Reply Wow… It’s too sad I just discovered you had this goal, because I was there !
I ran a seminar in the Eiffel Tower.
It’s an awesome place, i’m a big fan of it, and btw i’m also a fan of your goal list… what an inspiration !

I’m Philippe — the one on the left in the photo, the guy who offered the Eurostar ticket from London to Paris and hosted Ian in Fontainebleau. I will remember those two days for the rest of my life.
Soon after our meeting, Ian told me about another of his bold goals: attending the red-carpet ceremony at the famous Cannes Film Festival. What a challenge! As luck would have it, one of my close friends, Rikki Murphy — a fellow Brit working in the same events & exhibitions industry — was based in Cannes. His company happened to manage stands and events there, including for the British Film Office.
A few days later, I felt genuinely amazed to receive a photo of Ian, dressed in a tuxedo, standing proudly on the red carpet of the Palais des Festivals.
For me, Ian is living proof that anything is possible when you truly want something, dare to ask, and carry the right attitude toward people. Step by step, life opens doors for those who move forward with courage and kindness.
This guy deserves every success coming his way.
