Valentine’s Day, celebrated annually on February 14th, is a widely recognised day for expressing love and affection through gifts, cards, and romantic gestures. While rooted in ancient Roman fertility festivals and Christian traditions, it has evolved into a global, modern celebration of romance and companionship. It's also a huge money spinner for Hallmark cards and red rose sellers!
A Morrisons heart shaped crumpet was delicious with fruit, yoghurt, orange curd and a sprinkling of chopped hazlenuts.
And yesterday there was a heart shaped crisp in my cheese and onion packet!

I read this below online somewhere which I thought was lovely, and if I had a significant other half I would love to do this for them:
Make or buy some paper hearts. On each one write something that is special about your partner. Put them in a nice box and present it to your loved one on Valentine's day. Tell them to pull out a heart anytime they need reminding just how special they are.
💘 Happy Valentine's Day 💘
I love that idea of writing on the hearts and putting in a box to pull out as needed. I should do that for my grandkids!!!
ReplyDeleteI used to give my daughters cards, and then my grandson, but I stopped somewhere along the way, perhaps I wll start again.
DeleteThat would be a lovely gesture, indeed!
ReplyDeleteIt's important to let our loved ones know how much they are loved.
DeleteLove the heart-shaped crumpet! I've never thought of eating a crumpet with yoghurt -- I should try that!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have either, I usually have beans on a crumpet. It was good but I will go back to pancakes with fruit and yoghurt!
DeleteThat is a great idea. Something to treasure for a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteIt is Marie.
DeleteThese heart chaped treats look delicious, Polly !
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea writing something special on paper hearts !
Have a nice weekend,
Sylvia
Thank you Sylvia
DeleteThanks, Polly, for sharing about the paper hearts. It sounds like a wonderful way to show a loved one how much you treasure them.
ReplyDeleteIt is Beatrice, and there is no time limit to how long it can be used.
DeleteVD has become so commercial, it is nice to remember it once stood for something meaningful.
