MY VALENTINE 2007 Rose made a delicious meal which included Thai Stuffed Salmon,
as a special dinner on Valentine's Day. We realised as we shared
another romantic evening, that 1973 was probably the first year that
I sent her a Valentine card (which she still has). Aaah, young love has
become decidely middle-aged love, but it's all still good!
One observation about UK life is that Valentine's Day, whilst commercialised here too, is knowhere near the same hype and hysteria the media and advertising whips up in South Africa. Are the Brits just far more sensible about such things, or are they less inclined to be overtly romantic? Don't know - but we did like the fact that TV was not splashed with endless ways to part with your money to prove your love, as they do in the former apartheid regime country. Mind you, red roses on 14 Feb were ridiculously overpriced here.
