Think there's lots of us in the same boat here, looking enviously at Egg's lovely holiday snaps but knowing that we won't be able to afford to go away this year. (except to the Teddy Boy's 2011??). His Lordship's 50th is approaching rapidly so trying to think of things to do that are special but cost effective. Ideas on a postcard please!
It seems there are quite a few people who are 50 this year..........me
included (Old Fart!!
)
In my 50th year I want to make sure that every month I do something
that I will never forget. Yes I've had an unbelievable start with the hols
in FP and LA, but it's not always about money and expensive items.
One day I have never forgotten was 20 odd years ago. I was driving
back from doing a job near Lincoln and decided to go the scenic route.
It was a lovely sunny day and I came round a corner and stopped the
car to look at the view.
When I got out of the car I slowly realised that I was totally alone and
in complete and utter silence, no cars, no people, no birds, no noise, no
wind.......nothing.
It lasted a few minutes and in some respects was a bit eerie. I've never
experienced anything like before or since and will never forget it.
So the ideas on a postcard could be a view, a park bench, a song, a meal,
a picture and sometimes just a thank you is priceless........that's another
story.
