A beluga flies over our garden regularly on its way to Boughton.

Now, any sensible ideas for Marge's birthday? 😊

Trip to the theatre ?

Thanks. Very helpful of you.
I'll see what's on around that date.

Unfortunately, I don't like the theatre!
I'm open to alternative ideas, though.

No, no. The cover's fine.
She does struggle a bit with the old iron, though.
Thanks.

A new iron? You should be so brave!

How about a Spa Day ?

Now that is a good idea. I'll look into that. Thank you.

I've been thinking about this.
On the face of it, it would be something she'd be sure to enjoy, but I think she'd prefer for us to do something together...

and I certainly don't fancy the idea of a spa day!

Any other ideas would be very welcome - please!

I saw an advert today on FB for 'Afternoon Tea on a steam train' I think it was Shrewsbury way, or may have been North Wales.

Zip wire for two.. Wales.
An exhilarating zip adventure.

Go for it.. !!!! It will blow all the old cobwebs away....
You will spend years talking about it...

just don't suggest bungee jumping - how anyone can do that.......

Thanks again, Alex.

Actually, we have recently been on a restored steam train near Norfolk, but it is still worth considering again.

My friend and her husband did this a few months ago, I think it was in a disused quarry. She was fine, he was ***** a brick

they're 74 and 70 years old. Not for me I'm afraid

Scrumpy · August 06, 2023, 03:46:30 PM

I admire them..
