Happy Valentine's

I have a little secret to share. I wrote this over the Valentine's weekend! As with a lot of things I blame this on my mother, for as long as I can remember she used to bounce into my bedroom on Valentine's Day with 'Happy Valentine's day, and now it's time to get up to celebrate the day'. This was my first experience as a little girl to St Valentine's. As I grew older Valentine's seemed to be more for couples showing their love by sending flowers, cards, balloons and saucy lingerie! and for all unintentional purposes to make single people feel intensely jealous that they're alone. Valentine's day for me is about loving a person, family, friend, lover, husband or wife. So don't overcompensate for just one day, show love every day all year round with no need for extra expense. Commercialism, I am not a fan! So this us what I'm doing this year, having a lie in, pjs on , relaxing and I'm changing the rules this year. I'm buying him

There is only one thing to do on a cold rainy Saturday, close the drapes, turn the heat up and cosy up to a movie! That's exactly what I ended up doing yesterday and found myself watching Frozen ❄❄ and in the meantime my other half not only made pancakes for breakfast from also the most delicious steak and kidney pie for dinner served with mash. I'm not overly found of kidney but cut them so small I didn't even notice and it added to the taste of the pie. He cut the leftover shop bought shortcrust pastry into little pieces and threw them into the gravy ,  pressure cooked these and omg they were the most scrumptious little balls of delight similar to a dumpling and just like that my Saturday was complete.
