A Present for the Future
It’s a funny thing how you meet someone these days, but whether you’ve been together for 50 years or 5 weeks it’s important not to ignore Valentine’s Day. People always ask how I met the missus ten years ago now, but I always say it was how I asked her to marry me that was the important bit.
You have to show a bit of savvy. It was second time round for both of us and so I wanted to demonstrate I was a least a bit on her wavelength so I sat up into the wee small hours one night and composed a crossword. It was a terrible crossword, but she’s always done them, learned about them from her mother and I figured the way to her heart was 6 down and 14 across. You see inside the clues some of the answers were asking her to marry me. And of course it was 22 down and “I do.” And that's her holding the heart!
And because we get a bit wound up in our own world and lots of us are still working from home, so we see the object of our love a bit too often you have to fight against complacency. All relationships are fragile, so wrap yours in a little bit of cotton wool and get that special someone something special for Valentine’s Day. Something that is always there when they turn a corner or walk into a room to remind them of your affection. Then it’ll then be fandabidozie until the cows come home.
And as it’s tough economically at the moment why not take advantage of the Winter Sale that ends tomorrow and save a few bob, but not lose any of the impact of something both lasting and gorgeous. There’s a tenner off this from Gold Love Hearts glass paperweight which is exclusive to James Pirie and comes from the fantastic Caithness Glass. Or just browse the sale and marvel at the prices.
