Hello everyone,

I do apologise for those who want to leave comments and can't.

For some reason we can't fathom only certain people are able to leave a  comment:(

I will get my IT team on to it, ie: the children! and hopefully we can work out what is going wrong.
It could be a browser problem?

How To Spend Together On Valentines Day

Love is an outcome of emotions, It is a sweet melody of life, a song of romance, where two hearts become one and inseparable and where two souls become one. We started thinking about that person. Suddenly an unknown person comes too close to heart, we started caring about that person, and we bother for that person. We wish to spend a long time with him/ her.  We wish to see that person more and more. An attraction plays a vital role in this situation.

Valentine Day is the day of love and lovers. It is celebrated every year on 14^th February to give attribution to Saint Valentine. Although it is an western culture but now India and other oriental countries also now follow this event and celebrate it with great glamour and glitz. Valentine Day is the best day to convey love to each other, to make a strong bondage between each other by solving problems. On this very day couples use to celebrate it by exchanging gifts, cakes, chocolates and spending times together.
