Happy Valentines from Spain

Happy Valentines to you all from Spain! Hope you and your partners have a great time today. The chocolates, the perfume, the flowers, the cards, the breakfast in bed....these are all the things I wish I'd sorted our for today!

Every year it's the same story. 8pm on the 13th of Feburary I find myself hunting for last minute "gifts" for the next day (I treasure my life!). Lucky we have an English card shop down the road in Duquesa which sells all sorts of little gifts and they even brought in some really nice (and expensive) roses for the big day today. Also luckily....the were open late last night for people just like me!

I think the thing is here is that there doesn't seem to be much fuss about Valentines day. Not like in the UK, you could never be forgiven for forgetting Valentines day in UK as it's so in-your-face in all the shops.

We're just going to be staying in this evening (no babysitter). I've offered to cook dinner but I was swiftly told it was probably best if we just get a takeaway...is my cooking really that bad? Luckily we have an excellent Chinese restaurant down the road in Sabinillas which is a real life saver and the food is always superb.

Hope you all have a romantic day today!

Besos (only for the ladies)
