Friday was the first Valentine's Day I've had that wasn't crappy. The day passed by normally and too quickly as it is apt to do when one has a lot of work and not enough time. The night was lovely - we went to a local Italian place called Strada. They're well known for their wood-fired oven baked pizzas. We were actually very lucky to get a spot since we did not book!

I had baked heart shaped cookies for my friends, another gave out roses to the girls and another secretly ordered red heart shaped balloons for the girls. Actually, we couldn't figure out who it was - we only learned when he confessed.

Spent Sunday at Kew Gardens. You'll find the description in my plant journal soon.
