Valentine's Day tomorrow - any plans???


Recommended Posts

everyone seems to have this one sussed - Cassius put it best IMO


Been with LadyMacG for 13 years now - and nowt to do with taking her to hastily re-arranged restaurants with reduced menus at inflated prices


And we are both people who love a restaurant meal...

Where is the romance?


So do you not celebrate Christmas, Anniversaries and Birthdays because Hallmark sell cards? Surely the day is what YOU make it and you don't need to be a slave to commerc1alism in order to enjoy the sentiment?


Agree that the worst time to go out for dinner or plan a weekend away has got to be around Valentines Day.

Agree that there's nothing more cheesy than a box of choc's and a bouquet of over priced roses.

Agree that you shouldn't leave it to one day a year to show your love.


But to make a little effort to do something personal and meaningful without bowing to the demands of consumerism is really not that difficult. Just takes a little imagination, some creativity and a liberal amount of love.


Enjoy the day and make somebody (partber or not) smile FFS! Like KK says, 'Feel the love, man.'


Love and kisses xxx

I love Valentine's day, but why oh why does it have to be slap bang in the middle of Lent when a girl has given up chocolate and confectionery? I think that I would love one of those super heart shaped glass pendants from the window of Moo Too - from the children's private swimming instructor at Dulwich College (sigh). James can buy me diamonds - I would never accept anything less from my smiling man...
I'll arrange for some flowers to be delivered (despite having to pay twice what I usually do for roses), stay at home and cook my wife a good dinner accompanied by a good bottle of wine. Afterwards - maybe a decent movie with coffee and chocs. A little quiet perhaps, but it's what we've done for 19 years. Routine and romance can go hand in hand (pun deliberate).

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
    • It's not really though, is it. It's practical.  At least we're allowed Christmas lights.
