Lots of once in a lifetime holiday ideas. I would 2nd that idea.

I did the stone king rally tour. It was absolutely amazing and not something i would have organised myself at any other time. A real treat and memories will be with me forever.

Only issue is, i now want to do that sort of holiday each year😅

I identify with this.

Just been wondering if I can sneak another Alps trip into the diary/budget this year.

Ive just had my 58th, and Mrs B paid for me and her to go out for a full day in sea kayaks with Sea Kayak Guides based in Solva, Pembroke.

We had the very best time with Martin our guide and it was super informative and fun. I would 100% recommend.

I had loads of good ideas for my 50th (5 weeks ago). Climb the Matterhorn or go to a ski academy. In the end I decided to buy a guitar and get lessons for a year. Played it every day so far and I sounds pretty awful.  🙂

A Labrador.

(OK, they'll have to raise their budget significantly or roll it into your 51s and 52nd too unless you want one with  1.5 legs and half an ear missing).  But fully functioning ones are ace. If you like dogs thst is (and if you don't, you don't deserve anything other than £3-400 of contempt !)

@robertajobb a Lab would be ace, be we already have 2 dogs and not sure we could cope with a third!

For my 50th my sister got me and the wife a vineyard tour. Seemed odd to me at the time, but I booked an AirBnB right next door and we went along. Had an absolutely cracking day, learnt something, ate some lovely food, got absolutely smashed, and then went back to the AirBnB to get even more smashed in the hot tub.

It was the first proper time we'd had together since the kids were born (10+ years) and it was so worth it.

I like whisky but can’t usually stretch to spending more than £35ish on a bottle.
With that budget I’d be asking for 3 or 4 bottles, from my choice of distilleries, all in the £80-130 price range.
That would last me a while and I’d be happy!
