For Something Slightly Different…

Perhaps a look at numbers from the past will help you decide on the perfect gift…

  • The 56 Aubrey Holes are one of the oldest features of Stonehenge. They comprise 56 chalk pits arranged in a circle, but their purpose is still unknown. The prehistoric monument is well worth a visit… followed by a traditional lunch at a nearby inn.
  • The first time John Lennon met Paul McCartney, Lennon was 16 and McCartney was 15. It was July 6, 1957, one of the most significant meetings in rock history. Their home town of Liverpool has a rich tapestry of The Beatles memorabilia… for a fascinating trip down memory lane.

If you prefer to stay home for this anniversary, your partner will always appreciate a bouquet of flowers, handmade chocolates or a bottle of favourite wine. However you decide to celebrate another year together, make sure it provides more special memories.
