Last year Valentines Day was rather sad because it was the day we had to have Treacle put to sleep. She had been very ill for three weeks and I couldn’t let her suffer any more. My husband drove me to the vets and I held her and cried buckets over her and despite the usual cards, roses etc it didn’t feel like a celebration.<\/p>\n
This year we wanted to do something lovely (my husband doesn’t believe in going out as he finds it too commercial and over priced for what is usually disappointing) but we just couldn’t come up with something to cook that was really special. I had cooked rib eye steaks for my husbands birthday in January and fancied something different.<\/p>\n
I then remembered that my husband does some lovely canapes and said I quite fancied those. Well my lovely husband did me proud. In the morning we exchanged cards and he had bought me a dozen red roses and some truffles in a heart shaped tin. I had bought him (us) the romantic D.V.D. “The best exotic Marigold Hotel”, a film we both thought we would like to see and also some truffles by coincidence plus some special offer fiz to go with dinner.<\/p>\n
In the early evening while I did my bedtime chicken chores and got the girls to bed my lovely husband prepared the canapes and set the table making it look romantic. He put the roses, the heart shaped truffle tin and some candles on the table.<\/p>\n
The lovely thing was that I didn’t have to do anything and that made it feel really special.<\/p>\n
