Regular readers of our blog will know that Red Letter Days staff never turn down the opportunity for charity fun, and going the extra mile for Willow is our favourite speciality. And so last Saturday, Trent Park saw big numbers out in force for Team RLD, at the king of wet and wild obstacle courses – Gauntlet Games. There were gladiators (obviously), there was sun, there were gorillas giving out bananas, there were random men in make up and pink tutus, there was a sumo wrestling ring. And there was a helluva lot of water!

There are clearly as many Homers out there as Mufasas, as many Atticus Finches as Frank Spencers… Do you celebrate Father’s Day? Have you got a gift in mind, or is an experience preferable? With Father’s Day fast approaching, we made it our mission to find out how best to mark the day. Of course, we had plenty of our own ideas about Father’s Day Gifts to start with. But what better way to update our gifting expertise than with a Twitter party? Wielding the mighty hashtag #RLDdads we invited fathers and offspring of the Twittersphere to share their memories, gift ideas and dad jokes. What a party it was… via GIPHY At RLD…

 Celebrate Father’s Day with #WhatDadDoes  He’s a hero in a horrible Hawaiian shirt. Your personal cheesy cheerleader, who steals chips off your plate. A blubbering bodyguard, watching you proudly from the sidelines, there at every football match (come rain or shine) and fighting off childhood boyfriends with an arsenal of naff dad jokes. Whatever his peculiarities, and no matter how embarrassing he can be, it’s undeniable that your dad is your biggest fan. According to Ask Men, a leading men’s lifestyle website, a good father is an open-minded disciplinarian who leads by example – he understands his kids will make mistakes and provides unconditional love and support to guide them through…

We’ve been keeping a secret for a while now, so it’s very exciting to finally be able to reveal it. Red Letter Days is now working with 5 Blogger Ambassadors. They’ll be going on some of our experiences – from the gastronomic to the adrenaline-spiking to the relaxing – and helping us to put the word out about them. We spent a long time immersing ourselves in all kinds of blogs, before making our selection. Each of the final 5 has its own distinctive style, gives passionate and honest opinions and makes for an engaging read. We are pleased to introduce you to: Maaike van Kuijk travellousworld.com Maaike’s wide scope of interests span…

Man’s best friends. For some, it’s our dogs – always happy to see us, always loving, always bouncing off the walls when they hear the letters W, A, L and K however subtly we try to whisper them. For others, it’s our cats. Those strange, independent animals that turn their tails up at us disdainfully one minute, snooze in the oddest possible places and then graciously permit us to stroke them – but only for as long as it suits them. Well, last week we asked to see your furry friends feeling festive. We teamed up with PawPost to offer a brilliant cat or dog box to one lucky set…

We love Christmas, and so does Melvin, our moose! We gave him ‘free rein’ with this year’s Christmas campaign, and he got in contact with a number of companies we all know and love. Melvin charmed everyone (as ever) and we’re delighted that every single business agreed with him on some great prizes to give away.
