We tend to ignore the day itself, as it is over-commercialised to such an extent. Hence David is busy removing the manhole cover which broke my wrist a couple of weeks ago, to send it for re-training reduce its height so that when we lay the gravel on the patio it won't be jutting up too much.
He thoughtfully arranged with nature's gardener to have a couple of snowdrops show their shy heads for me, in lieu of a bunch of flowers. So much nicer!
The blossom will soon be out on the Skimmia, too. Lovely white flowers, currently protected by reddish-pink sepals in sweet little bunches.
The forsythia won't be too far behind - the buds are swelling, and soon those brown twigs will be covered in glorious sunny blooms. So pretty because the leaves follow the flowers, so don't obscure them.
Enjoy your Valetine's Day, whatever you do :-)
