Twisted Kites

Would have been very difficult for Nicola and I to have had a nicer Valentine’s Day yesterday.

We got each other a big ‘cute’ card and a smaller ‘proper’ card. She bought me a puppy dog teddy that also says ‘love you loads’ when press its paw, that she made (and recorded) herself at the Build-a-Bear Workshop in Solihull, big choccy heart from Thorntons and a few other bits. I got her a lovely Eeyore teddy with pink hearts, posh sweets and chocs, Murano glass heart necklace and other bits too. I also ordered flowers to be delivered from Next flowers which she loved, they were truly beautiful.

In the evening I took her to a stunning country pub & restaurant, The Golden Lion in Easenhall, Warwickshire, for our evening meal. Four courses in a great location, old fashioned 16th century building, stylish tasty meal and top service, we will definitely go there again to eat.

After that we curled up with Lily O’Briens chocolates (desserts selection), a bottle of champagne and we watched Miss Potter. Just perfect.
