Valentine plans

Thursday night will be the third night of the amateur play we are both involved with - DH has main part -I’m doing costumes , hair and make up . Although we have to be at the theatre early , we will go out for a meal together first . It will be our 34 th. Valentine’s Day as a married couple but we have been together since we were 16 !

I gave DH a card the first year we were together but he told me he doesn’t do Valentine’s Day or Mothering Sunday, just birthday and Christmas. This year we will be apart anyway as he is visiting his daughter.
It is just a commercial opportunity. There are 365 days a year to show love and commitment, though romance is in short supply at our age.

Getting together with a group of other widows and having a nice lunch - after that home and thinking of DH, probably a few tears but also a lot of smiles

Thats good news Crazygran hope you have lots of romantic times now.
I'm like Kittylester a card in my knicker drawer and that's as far as it goes. Usually I forget St Valentine and our wedding anniversary much to my husband's dismay. I always get flowers though.

I have bought a card and a small present for my husband he is not big on romantic gestures whereas I am but it something I have got used to after almost 25 years of marriage,I normally get flowers and a card.

Dogs never let you down do they Tooyungtobeagradma. If anything they are over attentive. Our little schnauzer, Frank, follows us from room to room even when you think he's fast asleep one eye is watching to make sure we don't escape! Love him..

I did get a Valentine card from my OH this year which is the first in 31 years. Only because he couldn't find a birthday card for my birthday at the end of January so had to go for what they had!

MOMB I wonder what sort of unexpected visitors would rummage in your knicker drawer?? LOL

First Valentines with the new man in my life.
We met last December and am in love again at 64 ,so looking forward to the romance , you are never too old and don’t know what or who is around the corner.
Hope you all enjoy.???

Thursday night is choir practice so we had a romantic meal at the weekend - I never know what day it is anyway! I have bought a card but now I need to find it!

Ditto aggie.

Meeting friends in Bath for a light lunch. Then we will have lobster starter with champers and steak for dinner with red wine at home. Don’t really do desserts or gifts but exchange cards. 39 years so far .....

After 50 years of wedding bliss (!) I'm in the ignore it camp. But for those romantics among you, 'enjoy' as they say.

I have nothing for my OH which is exactly what I have received for 37 out of 38 years. I shall get lots of attention though from my dogs

Probably babysitting to let the young uns have a romantic evening out

Just Hattie and me?
She will hardly know me as I was in Moseley Sat to Monday and am now on the train to London so shant be picking her up again till Thursday ?

We ignore it!

No

No we dont do anything. I shall play golf in the morning and DH will play bowls in the evening while I watch a romcom with a glass of wine.

kitty snap !

We acknowledge the date with cards but we haven't celebrated it for years now.

I always make dinner at home ,hate crowded restaurants full of forced romance.It'll be something simple ,Melon and prawns ,sole in a champagne sauce with new potatoes and veg and a strawberry flan possibly .Chocolates for decoration only ,small heart shapes on the place settings.Usually a nice night ..well I dont get complaints .

MOMB
I hope for your sake that an unexpected guest doesn't rummage and find them. Anyway, you're sure know as the sheets would be smeared with chocolate. ????

Ahhh...that's kind of you but a pleasure to have the little ones. Love is a flower that we hope blossoms forever.
Sadly, not always the case but we can hopefully foster respect and still be friends.

Yes Coolgran65, I noticed the men's jumpers a few days ago when going to collect an order. Very nice indeed and quite affordable. Lovely colours too and jumpers are always a good choice IMO.
Grandchildren are always your loves too so you'll have two to fuss over.
