Novelty cycling themed socks. You could get a fair number of pairs for £100. And think of the number of permutations of novelty odd sock pairings!

That's not a bad idea. One of my daughters gave me a "Sock Subscription" and I got a new pair of socks every month for a few months. And they all have a cycle theme.

Gin making experience day, many small gin makings do you taste a few then make your own.

Good quality bird box. It will give you pleasure every year if you site it right.

A nice bottle of single malt.

A nice bottle of single malt.

Whisky really makes me maudlin. I thought it was opening the second bottle but these days the second glass brings the black dog round.

Stabilisers.

Why can't I rent them at the pub?

Been trying that. Assembled the necessary infusions and a bottle of a German shops cooking gin. Trouble is you end up with a bottle to work your way through.
Also the effect changes with time and the reduction of volume as you drink your way through the bottle.

If you didn't like my suggestion of a Sock Subscription, on another occasion, my daughters treated me to a tour of a gingery.

They also will sell you a "subscription" to their delights.

Great scenery, Keilder Water.

Alternative suggestion: get some expensive tyres.

Makes more difference to your ride than a £5k frame.

Honestly I'm shocked out.

But the supervised scientific study of gin production is rather ( very) tempting.
