Happy Valentine's Day

Wishing you all a special day, where you feel very loved, very treasured.

I decided I would share the A to Z photo of the week after all, as I am putting other photos up.

Anyway - it was G for GEM.  This necklace belonged to my Grandmother, and I shortened the chain slightly so it settles in the hollow of my throat.  It's a Moonstone, surrounded by Garnets.  But it was the moonstone that I thought of when I saw the "gem" prompt.


Yesterday morning I managed to catch up with a friend I used to work with.  She and I have walked together from time to time, but the last few months we had just kept missing each other.  Anyway, we made it.  We met at some forestry between where the 2 of us live, and had a walk, and then a cup of tea/coffee.  It was a really lovely morning.  Sadly, as you can see, it wasn't sunny, but seeing as it's raining today we did well to pick that day!











I had a lazy afternoon, and then in the evening walked into Exeter with Claire, and met Tim.  We had a meal and it was lovely to really catch up with them both.  A lot of the talk was about their up-coming Anniversary Party.  It's going to be a good evening, I hope ... and if it isn't it won't be due to their lack of organisation!

Today, as it's raining, I'm glad I walked over 6 miles yesterday as that means I don't have to feel guilty if I don't have a short walk today!

Seeing as the kitchen floor didn't get done on wednesday, that looks like I do have a plan for this afternoon!

But, no other news to share here - so -







13. Do you remember The Monkees TV show?
Sad to say, I still love a lot of their popular songs ... and, yes, I loved the show!

14. It’s Saint Valentine’s Day – when did you last drink champagne?
27th November!  When Tim, Claire & I went out to celebrate what would have been Dad's 100th, we had champagne with our meal.





Right ... Hope you all have a great valentine's day, whether you are celebrating, or not.

See you tomorrow x

What a lovely old necklace. I could see Maggie Smith wearing it in Downton Abbey.

Hee - hadn't thought about that. But I would imagine it is that era. I always feel good when I wear it.

The Monkees had some brilliant songs!

Some of them are so much fun ... makes me smile

Thank you for sharing this lovely place to walk.

I had SUCH a crush on Peter Tork. Their music was wonderful!

There was something fun about the Monkees.

We were really amazed that we didn't see many others on the walk, as it's usually a popular place

There were some really good Monkees songs!

There are one or two that are still on the radio from time to time, which shows they have stood the real test of time.

Never understood the popularity of a lot of things British here in the US...sorry to say, including the Monkees and the Beatles or the Stones. I don't drink alcohol, period.

It's funny but I know a lot of Americans say that about the Beatles/Stones/Monkees etc. But despite being from the 60's those bands are still played regularly on the radio
