I’m looking to treat the wife in the next couple of weeks .Was thinking of a hot air ballon ride and an overnight stay somewhere. Any suggestions will be appreciated

Sorry Daz I'm absolutely shit at getting presents for the other half.
For example a few years ago I bought her a nice laptop case, the problem being she didn't have a laptop. This is just one example of a plethora of total shit presents.
I'm sure someone will come up with some great idea

Don't. That would be my suggestion.
For the first part anyway.

Sorry, make that the second part. You must treat her of course.

Once bought my ex and ironing board for Christmas. It was meant to be a joke as I also bought her something nice. Anyway, didn't go down at all well. Could be part of the reason we parted? (ps, the ironing board was regarded as one of my assets, still going strong!).

I the sky is the best place for the hot air balloon mate.

Try the Peak District, you can stay in Buxton or Ashbourne or somewhere, there are companies that do balloon rides

Double, Triple check all the terms and conditions in case we go into another lockdown Don't want one of those that expire in 6 months.

Going into another lockdown is the least of his worries. Going into a frickin electricity pylon should be the real concern.

Booked hot air balloon flight few years back absolute ball ache, if its an afternoon flight have to phone in the morning to see if weather conditions are ok, you then have to check again an hour before take off which is no good when you live 2 hrs from the take off site
So you chance it travel the first hour phone them up an hour before to find its been cancelled even if the weather looks great to you doesn't mean its right for flying a balloon, After 3 call offs i asked for a refund.

Dont use Red Letter days etc search on net and go direct save yourself some money thats about all the advice i can give

I’ll always remember my Mum’s face when my old man bought her a tile cutter for their anniversary. You can guess what he got her for her birthday a couple of weeks later.

Mines loves a Spa day.
Just don't send her to Leamington. It's not the same.
