Season two of this dating challenge wrapped earlier this year in January after about 10 months of working our way through the alphabet. This series is one that probably looks quite fun and exciting from the outside but behind the scenes it can be quite stressful as my wife has no idea about any of this, and gently suggesting certain places or activities can often be met with fairly instant rejections!

My favourite letters were probably the event-based ones we did for F, I and J. Other than that, I guess P was a pretty cool date. The majority of them were all good in their own way as this venture was really not always about visiting glamorous places and doing exciting things but just getting out there and exploring locations we wouldn’t normally go to.

It was always good from a blogging point of view to do dates which would get their own individual posts such as what we did for F, I, J, P, V and W. Naturally, it would’ve been quite nice to have such unique experiences for each letter but sometimes that’s just not possible and you have to rely on a quick lunch date at a local restaurant or whatever.

The 26 letters of the alphabet were divided into the following five blog posts which you can see below, along with the complete A-Z choices I made for each letter.
