Something different

It's definitely time to start planning for Father's Day which falls next Sunday, June 21st

It's definitely time to start planning for Father's Day which falls next Sunday, June 21st. If your dad is anything like mine, you'll be struggling to dream up the perfect present for a man who wants for nothing and is perfectly happy with a newspaper and a mug of tea. What to buy?

Well, how about shaking things up a little by offering dear old dad the chance to combine an hour's 4X4 off-roading with a spot of archery? Perhaps he'd prefer to drive a tank or a twin-engine hovercraft, take to the sky and try skydiving or hot-air ballooning. If you think he'd prefer something a bit more sedate, how about a wine appreciation course, or a day learning to cook Indian delicacies, or a three-day residential cookery course designed to help him organise the perfect dinner party? If you play your cards right, he might invite you along.
