Southport flower show is nice in August. Not as horrific on the prices as Chelsea and runs over 4 days.

Bridgemere garden world is nice to visit. It's over 50 acres. Lovely restaurant and a cafe good selection of plants. A few extras like Cotton traders, Hobbycraft  Pavers etc. Entry is free, but for a small extra charge they have a selection of display gardens from RHS shows they have bought and maintained. Best present is to be  accompanied by yourself.

What’s your budget? 

I’d try and book a place or an experience where you can both go and do something together, if that’s catch a fish or shoot or whatever 👍🏻 

Take a great pic of it and post it on your wall framed :)

i like this idea :good:

He’s got his dads penknife in his pocket every day still. It is worn out tho. Maybe it’s due retirement, like my dad 😂

The day out together sounds like a good idea then maybe a pub lunch at his favourite local or favourite restaurant to finish the day off. Or see if he needs anymore tackle small things like hooks , line , feeders , sinkers etc I find it a brilliant present when someone gets me something I use regularly

As others have eluded to here, give him your time, something not all of us have the privilege to give our fathers. ATB

Well said - gave my father a huge hug the other day, not something we would normally do, but the ravages of Alzheimer’s means things are changing rapidly.

I work 4 days a week with mine and give him a big hug everyday still. I’m 37 and know the harsh reality of illness and age. 

Now I have kids I realise how much my dad must love me
