Tips for Valentine’s Day midday and evening……

Let’s continue…….

After the breakfast preparations, the lady should receive some flowers at the office, preferably roses. We can help with the flowers and are also happy to deliver.

As for a man, it’s probably best to give him either something that he really likes – such as Cuban cigars (so he can really show off with them at the office), a fine wine or perhaps even a good cognac – or an invitation for the evening programme, without letting on what it’s about. (more…)

Tips for Valentine’s Day morning…….

It’s the same date every year, just like Christmas. Yet, also like Christmas, this day on the calendar, the 14^th of February, always seems to take people by surprise.

Consequently, the same thing happened that would have happened had it been today: the pope took umbrage at such goings on. So the church had the day consecrated to St. Valentine, who was not only the patron saint of beekeepers (which is a bit ironic since bees reproduce in large numbers quite quickly) and of lovers, but was also the founder of good marriages.
