Thanks for the suggestions.:-))))
Cornwall is out as its too far to drive these days. The birthday is the end of October so I am thinking the weather mightn't be too kind for the Lakes. Its 300 mile drive too which I want to avoid.
I had thought of a meal out with friends and family, as we did for our Golden Wedding but found I was so intent on making sure everyone else had all they needed I don't even remember eating my meal let alone what I ate.
Thats the trouble with this ere getting old thing, it limits the options.
Hubby used to joke he was having a Disco when he was 80. If he had one now he's there I can't see it having the same appeal.
Another problem with getting old....your friends are also old, or as in my other half's case, many male friends all already passed away!!!
It could be a women's convention lol. A few years ago he might enjoy being the centre of attention of the ladies.
I think I might look into taking over a room, with staff, to take the work load..unless someone here has another suggestion.
Thanks for your ideas so far.
