Father's 70Th Birthday
28 Answers
It's my fathers 70th Birthday in September and I have no idea what to get him at all.
He is retired but active, can no longer drive long distances, but does enjoy days out. He lives in East Anglia.
Any unusual gift ideas out there?
No idea of budget but not over £300 probably.

They run falconry courses up the road from me, at the East Anglian Academy of Falconry: http:// www. owl- help. org. uk/ styled- 5/ page72. html

Well I live in East Anglia, I enjoy days out and I've got a birthday coming up, So I've booked a day trip to Paris (with no driving):
2 x taxis to/from station = approx £25.
Trains to/from London, which is about 75 miles away (with Advance tickets) = approx £24.
Return fare to Paris on Eurostar (at offer prices) = £58.
So that's one possibility. If your father can get to Stansted, there are also loads of cheap day trips available from there, such as Amsterdam or Berlin.

Mr. J2 has his 83rd birthday coming up. He casually mentioned (ages ago) that he had once been in a glider and how he had enjoyed it - so I'm booking him a flight - just hope he doesn't try wing-walking!
If your Dad is fit and healthy he might enjoy something like that - there should be plenty air-based stuff in East Anglia.
