I wanted to do something a little different for my fortieth - so I'm asking for donations to The Retreat Animal Rescue instead of presents. I'm sure the cows, ducks, geese, and assorted other animals will appreciate being looked after more that I'd appreciate more stuff. (And I like more stuff a lot. I would like you to remember that for future present-giving reference.)

JustGiving promise they will keep your details safe – never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
