Happy Valentines Day 2021

Yes, it's Valentines Day 2021, and I wish you a happy day! "February 14th has become one of the key dates on the commercial calendar, with romantic Brits spending an estimated £1.5 billion on cards and gifts (and Americans as much as $19.6 billion). But behind the commercialisation of Valentine's Day lies a fascinating history that can be traced back to ancient Rome" - read more here

I haven't seen anyone eat a boiled egg in an egg cup in years! We generally take one as part of our lunch when we are out for a full day of birding.
