I visited our friend Richard Barton-Knott who allowed me to challenge myself by draping a snake around my neck. She was surprisingly smooth and cool, but what you can't really see in the video is how much I was shaking throughout. Still - feel the fear and do it anyway...!

Challenge 4: Two Hours of Shakespeare I spent two hours in the very windy centre of Andover reading Shakespeare - from Macbeth, through Henry V to the sonnets. The main challenge was saving the lectern from blowing over in the gusty wind - perhaps King Lear's "Blow winds and crack your cheeks" would have been appropriate! ​Thanks to all those who donated on the day, and to Cllr Iris Andersen who turned up to support me. I was also surprised to see Paul and Rachel Fox, from the Netherlands, who happened to be in Andover for a wedding.

Challenge 3: Three Hours Tango At Kings Cross in London I danced the tango for three hours non-stop, with a variety of partners including my good friend Margaret, with whom I'm dancing in the video. ​I've always loved dancing the tango so this was very much a labour of love!
