I've got a week off in November - it's going to be my 6 year anniversary with my girlfriend. For some reason, I'm a little short on ideas this year. Obviously, I can't expect much of the weather in November, so I don't want to be spending ages outdoors.

She doesn't like romantic stuff, so I don't have to worry about that! I know she would like to go to Cabot Circus (huge new shopping centre in Bristol) about an hour away. I imagine she'd also quite like to go to the natural history museum in London as she's really interested in that kind of stuff.

Really, I'm just wondering what suggestions people would have for stuff to do in a cold week off! I live in Somerset btw. so a day trip to Edinburgh Castle might be a bit impractical!

Thanks in advance!

Maybe take her to the museum and do a bit of sight seeing. And afterwards go for a meal (i know you said none romantic but it doesn't have to be) but just at a nice restaurant with a bit of wine if you aren't restricted on money.

Make a day of it, something interesting that she will enjoy rather than you making an attempt at being soppy (or, trying to get laid Laughing )

Six years. The itch will be setting in good and it'll be a tricky one to get out of by that point. Could get very messy.

Unless you actually plan on marrying her, or she's already borne your children.

I recommend a few days in Amsterdam. You can noisily fuck a hooker in front of her. If she forgives you, marry her. If she doesn't, fuck some more hookers.

Basically just fuck some hookers.

What's wrong with it? I mean, I'd expect it to busy, or am I missing something?

Money isn't really a problem, within reason. A rubbish summer means I haven't spent much money, so I've got a bit of dosh sitting around.

Where's the BCF "Quality" rating? Laughing

As for the OP, I can't really help with the question, sorry. Embarassed Thumbs Up

Go abroad. I like France, but then I also like drinking wine and eating tasty food and wandering round old towns.

This maybe why Australia is proving somewhat uninspiring at the minute!

I vote for France.

Or have a picnic on top of Cheddar gorge for a cheap one.

I've just read about a brand new shopping centre opening up at Shepherds Bush.....

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1080748/Super-sized-shopping-Take-sneak-peak-inside-Europes-largest-retail-centre.html

.....biggest in Europe apparently, so I reckon if you're heading up to London for the Natural History Museum you could go there too? Throw in a London theatre / show and look forward to another 6 happy years Clapping

Take her on a week long tour of the UK on your bike. It'll be a good test of just how well you get on. or not.

Me and the gf did a long weekend in Paris for very low cost, just jumping on the tube and seeing loads of sites and then poshed it up at the horse racing on Sunday Thumbs Up
