Wishing you all a wonderful Valentine’s Day that is full of love and happiness…just like the other 364 days a year! After all we don’t need a Saint (or Hallmark!) to remind us that we love and care for each other, but as I like any excuse to celebrate life with my loved ones, why not let St. Valentine be the reason to celebrate today!
Nathan and I are both working today and he is working tonight so we celebrated our Valentine’s Day on Saturday by venturing out into beautiful day that had both warm (a very heady high of 11 degrees!) sunshine and clear blue skies with a smattering of fluffy white clouds.
It was so warm that we actually wanted to sit outside. As dogs are refused entry into most eating establishments it was nice to feel as though we could make a decision to sit where we wanted to for a change.
We visited Dorchester, Dorset where Thomas Hardy was born and later became known as the fictional place “Wessex” in many of his books. Our days out mostly centre around having a great time exploring and having lots of fun, but food is never far from our minds! So we stopped off for a delicious lunch in Blandford Forum, Dorset. We both ate too much, but it was worth it!
I spent the day in floral heaven oohing and ahhing at all of the snowdrops, crocus, hazel and willow catkins that we saw. I absolutely adore all of them and it is such a thrill to know that spring is just around the corner…and I cannot wait for its arrival!
The drive home through the stunning countryside was sublime. Even though we only live a few miles from the Dorset border, the countryside there is very different from Hampshire. We are used to lots of fairly flat woodland whilst Dorset is full of rolling hillsides of patchwork fields. I adore the New Forest and I truly wouldn’t want to live anywhere else, but there is something about the view of field upon field which makes me feel giddy with joy. So we are very fortunate that our home sweet home is surrounded by the dreamy combination of seaside, woodland and fields.
Happy Valentine’s Day ♥
Lots of love
Morwenna

oh lovely lady, what a glorious post! I love your zest for life!
The photo of you and Poppy is just gorgeous, and how stunning are the snowdrops?
Have a wonderful Valentine's Day, though you are quite right. Love should see us through every day, not just be a focus because the shops tell us so!
