Let's not forget that Valentine's Day is coming up. Does anyone know anymore whether it is Cupid or commercialism that drives us into an annual spree of exchanging gifts, flowers, chocolates and cards. Well, let's pretend it is that mysterious romantic side to us that somehow puts us under the influence ... and of course that has also become another feature, especially with the younger set.
I will do what I always do ... put the commercial end of it out of my mind and with a little old fashioned sentiment spend some thougthful moments getting a small gift for the one I love. If anything, Valentine's Day is just a little prompt to me on this one day every year to give a few moments of affectionate consideration to the special person in my life. It is simple in a sense, but it is the one bit of sense I can see in it. If someone else is making money on the back of my feelings, then so bit it. In the end, I am grateful that they reminded me to remember.
For all hopeless romantics who might like look at last minute hotel offers in London, check out the current deals below. In my view, a weekend break in the capital would be just as good a present for Valentine's Day as an expensive perfume or pricey jewellery. I know that people associate Paris or Rome with romance, but London has it's own very special atmosphere, and if we were to go into it, no slouch either when it comes to some great romantic stories.
