Dad is turning 80 on 25th August. Clare, Phil, Kit and Mark think that a trip to Venice would be a great birthday present, we know it is somewhere that mum and dad have always wanted to visit.

We can‘t quite stretch for the whole amount so we are asking close friends if you could make a small contribution to help pay for the holiday.

I dont think Dad wants a massive fuss made over turning 80, a surprise party is out, but at least we can tell him that he has many friends out there who wanted to participate in some way in his Birthhday celebrations. If you leave a comment, we will be sure to pass them on to Paul.

thanks everyone x
