Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year – the holidays of the short evenings are over. The spring vegetables are slowly entering the markets. Given that love is the keynote of that sweetest day of February when moments are made into memories, shops have displayed pretty favours for exchange between lovers and couples to mark the Valentine’s Day. As usual, a good number of high-flying hotels will be a much sought after destination on the 14th of this month for the lovers and couples out for a memorable candlelit evening of gastronomy, drinks, music, romance and to feel like a million dollars.

This is the third time back to this most excellent post. You are a master storyteller, Jo. You bring details to vivid life and allow readers to cherish the transitions which are based on the ancients. Happy Valentine’s Day to you and Carina. I agree – Carina is the very best!
Quite rightly stated, Rebecca. Thank you – from both of us. Happy Valentine’s Day.

Much Love

Thank you, Carolyn, for your kind note. Yes, under the circumstances, we are staying at home – focused on healthy lifestyle. A lockdown of 21 days is on throughout the country and we are on day two. I hope and pray we can eradicate this virus menace out of the planet asap. Hope you, your beloved husband, family and friends are all keeping well and safe. PS: I now note that notifications about your posts are not appearing in my mailbox. Please keep in touch. Take care, Jo.
Lovely to know that you and your loved ones are healthy and well, Jo. Yes, staying at home is, I believe, the best we can do.
We are awaiting the notification of a total lockdown at any time. Our state borders are closed or closing, with overseas travel now banned.
We, Keith and I and immediate family members are doing quite well. As you say, Jo, it is a matter of living a healthy lifestyle, as much as is possible.
I am not surprised that notifications of posts are not forthcoming. I, too, have had to renew subscriptions to many blogs I follow.
Yes, I will keep in touch.
Much Love to you
