Well it’s Valentine’s Day again, this year seems to be going really quickly. I wonder if I will get yet another soppy card from Becks telling me just how he made a huge mistake and married the wrong woman and that if I would have him he would leave Victoria tomorrow.

Well a girl can dream can’t she??

Here are some Valentine’s Day facts:

73% of Valentine Day flowers are bought by men, whereas women buy only 23% of Valentine flowers.

Roman festival of Lupercalia used to be celebrated on February 15th where young men held a lottery to conclude which girl would be theirs.

In the Middle Ages, there was a belief that the first unmarried person of the opposite sex you met on the morning of St. Valentine’s Day would become your spouse.

The first Valentine gift was sent by Duke of Orleans to his wife, after he was captured in 1415.

Now for the cute bit:

Meet Valentine the piglet. Born only 2 weeks ago with heart-shaped markings on his side.
