Valentine's Day 2025

I'll actually start with the 13th of February, when Lee and I headed over to my mum's house to see her and have some tea with her and my stepdad. We had a nice night and as my mum had been declared cancer free we had some champagne to celebrate! So that was lovely. It isn't worth a whole post by itself except for my outfit. 

I was wearing a new My Little Pony t shirt that Lee bought me for Christmas. I had one but the print wore off it so I had asked Lee for another, but this was the first time I had worn it. It's very soft and cosy so perfect for wearing in the winter. As you can see I paired it with my lollidot skirt that used to be a dress but which I cut off to wear more, although I haven't actually worn it in ages before this. 

Then I put my new boots on - which were a bargain from Vinted, remember - and some new tights. I had recently bought a few pairs from Snag, and some pants because I wanted to try them, and this was one of the pairs. They're supposed to look like marl and they're red and black and I thought for the winter they were really nice. 

On Valentine's Day I had arranged to meet up with my friend Gillian. We had had a joke that as it was Valentine's we were on a date, and I decided to play into that so I stopped off and bought her a bunch of flowers and a box of chocolates. Then I drove to Arthur's Cafe in Mirfield which is near to her house, and I was there before she was so I ordered an After Eight hot chocolate while I waited.

When she arrived she had bought me a bunch of flowers too! It was too funny! Hers for me were beautiful purple tulips, which you can see in my final photo. They were lovely!

The food at Arthur's is also really lovely. I had Bombay potatoes and salad on a flatbread, which was really nice. Then I had a scone with jam and cream which was warm and extremely delicious too! It was nice to talk to Gillian for a long while. And it was nice to have a Valentine's meal with her!

Don't fret though - Lee and I had decided to not buy each other anything much but to save our money until later in the year when we wanted something in particular. I did buy him a box of chocolate orange truffles, and he got me a box of Black Magic. Perfect!
