'When Jane Louise went upstairs she saw that Teddy had brought up the bags and also that he had turned down the bed-covers. Teddy was not generally expressive, and when he was, Jane Louise felt like a person in a fairy tale whose heart had been pierced by a rose thorn.'
A Big Storm Knocked It Over by Laurie Colwin
Just some words I read earlier this week and they struck me as appropriate for St Valentines. We should recognise love all through the year shouldn't we? Have a lovely weekend everyone. xx
Agree completely. We don't celebrate Valentine's Day for that exact reason! Beautiful post Jo. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen, We always have a nice meal in, no TV, Radio just peace to chat together. I can't abide the whole commercialism of it these days! Thanks for visiting and commenting, Jo xx
DeleteAlthough we do celebrate valentine's day in our household, we know it's the little loving gestures throughout the year that really count. The back rubs, cups of tea made, hugs, conversation, listening, small no-reason gifts - they are the real things.
