Yes, another birthday in our family this week.
Mr Betty has reached the ripe old age of 29 (ouch).
I was really struggling for a present idea, he is so tricky to buy for. For obvious reasons I bought him some David Beckham undies. I might lock him out of the house in them and create the advert moment ;)
I chose to treat him to an 'experience' and hopefully create some great memories and let me tell you,
we have just had the most amazing day!!

| Mr Harris Hawk. We walked him, brilliant! |

| Mr Betty with Dennis, the most loving owl in the world. |
I cannot tell you how enjoyable this was.
We learnt so much about the birds of prey, learnt how to care for them, train them.
I paid for a private 2 hour session, really good value and I was along as a viewer. I did get a cuddle with Dennis of course.

I am considering taking Littlest for his birthday too.
Thanks for reading. x

ReplyDeleteMagical. I want a cuddle with Dennis too!
ReplyDeleteFab treat...I can't tell where Mr Betty's hat ends and Dennis starts :) happy birthday Mr B xxxx
ReplyDeleteMr Betty has to remove his hat at one point. The hawk lady was worried that the bird might think it was a bunny. Ha. X
