  3. Go away with my mum as she was 80 two years ago and was recovering from an operation on her 80th birthday and we were in the first lockdown on her 81st, so hasn't yet had a birthday celebration for her 80th, hopefully we can catch up on something this year - just a few days away in the UK somewhere.
  4. Go away somewhere with DH - also happy for that to be in UK
  5. Visit Christmas markets
