Ok lets start with some fun facts this valentines day.
- In medieval times girls would eat some bizarre foods on St. Valentine s Day to make them dream of their future husband.
- In 1537 King Henry VII declared February 14th the holiday of St Valentines Day.
- In the 1800s Physicians commonly advised their patients to eat chocolate to help them stop missing their loved ones.
- 73% of flowers bought on valentines day are bought by men. Leaving 27% being bought by women.
- The red rose was the favourite flower of the roman goddess of love – Venus
I just wanted to write a short personal post to wish everyone a really happy valentines day. What are you doing today? I hope whatever it is you are happy.
I hope everyone gets to do something a little bit special for their loved ones today even if it just making a little extra time to spend time together, making an extra cup of tea, doing the washing up, putting the kids to bed. I think it is the little things that you do today and every day, that do not have to cost money that is important and any presents are a bonus. Saying that I always love to get a card on Valentines morning.
My husband has took the night off his hobby tonight which is a lovely surprise as life been pretty busy and and I am looking forward to eating dinner and chilling together with a film or watching something from sky plus later whilst sharing his chocolate.
My husband really spoilt me this year & treated me to a small box of chocolates (I have already eaten most of them!) and ugg boots this morning – I am soooo happy as I really miss my old ugg boots (which pretty much fell apart!) and did not dare treat myself to a new pair for quite a while.
If anyone has been proposed to please let me know I would love to write a feature about you and maybe photograph your wedding too. That would be great.
I am off now to make some heart shaped biscuits with my little girl for daddy. She has really spoilt her parents today with cards, paintings and heart shaped models. So cute.
