With Love From Both Of Us

 

Hello everyone. 

Yes, we know it's Friday and early for our usual post, but as it is Valentine's Day here in the UK, Beverley and D wanted to wish you all lots of love today and thank you for your support as our blogging and visiting friends.

St Valentine's Day is celebrated by those who wish to celebrate it on 14th February each year. The day chosen to celebrate Valentine's Day in the Eastern Orthodox church falls on the 6th July.

Valentine was a priest who lived in 3rd-century Rome and was martyred during the rule of Claudius II. Many stories and legends concerning Valentine exist, one of which suggests that before his execution, Valentine wrote a letter to the daughter of his jailor, whom he had converted to Christianity, signing it 'Your Valentine'.

The celebration of love on St Valentine's Day has evolved over the centuries into the cultural, religious and commercial activity it is today.

If you are celebrating, we hope you have a wonderful day. If it is just another day, may it also have been a happy day for you.

We looked around the house to find a few heart-felt items and found these.

Cards we made in a crafting session.

Cross stitch ' Heart of the Home'

This was a garland of crochet hearts and flowers placed all around the ceiling of Bev's craft room. Although each heart is stuffed, inside each one are the names of family and loved ones.

Finally, here is a delicious cheesecake we made for someone we love very much.

Have a lovely weekend, everyone, and enjoy what you do.

Beverley and D
