Smile at each other, smile at your wife, smile at your husband, smile at your children, smile at each other. It doesn't matter who it is, and that will help you to grow up in greater love for each other. - Mother Teresa
Happy Valentine's Day, the one day of the year when you can let the romance flow without worrying about appearing too sentimental, mushy or soft! The day when children look at their parents and start pulling faces and making 'Yuck!' noises when mum and dad steal a kiss every time they brush past one another.
I have to say I have had a very nice weekend, full of romance and all of the slushy stuff that I adore. This weekend was also my partners birthday, thankfully he arrived before being given the delightful name of Valentino that was waiting for him if he had been born on the 14th. I have been wined and dined, cuddled and snuggled and surrounded by chocolates and Bailey's Irish Cream.
Our dining experience left us almost unable to move, good quality food that comes in good portion sizes, in an atmosphere filled with country air and old world charm that is to be found at The Shorthorn Inn. Whilst we were there we discovered we were sharing the evening with a 'celebrity' (for want of a better expression), a guy called Steve McLaren, so my partner informed me, apparently he was manager of the England Football Team at some point. I have to admit that this information went straight over my head. But what I did notice was the the way that people watched his every move as he paid for his meal. I don't think I would like that, feeling the stare of a roomful of people as I went about my business.
Perhaps fame and fortune don't bring happiness on all levels, financial happiness yes, material security yes, but privacy absolutely not.
