Happy birthday my love

For your gift, I wanted to offer you new memories... all together!

My dear love,

I wanted to offer a precious escape from our daily lives: a beautiful cottage stay with Petit, Ayla, Lili, and me!

I've selected some dog-friendly spots. We just need to choose where and when, and I'll take care of the rest.

Love you more,

Martin
