Valentine's Day Competition Winners

Congratulations to Michelle and Gemma on winning tickets to the Premiere of Valentine’s Day in London last week.  It was a star studded event with Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, Jessica Alba, Topher Grace and many more celebrities in attendance.  As you can see our competition winners seemed quite at home on the red carpet!  It was lovely to meet you ladies and we hope you enjoyed the film as much as we did.  If you’ve yet to see Valentine’s Day, it’s on in cinemas now.

Valentines Day is just around the corner, but in a world where e-mails, texts and twitters have taken over from actual human interaction, we ask ”where has the romance gone?”

It seems gone are the days when men would swoon their love interest with poetry and love letters, unfortunately we haven’t received a love letter since our teens and not heard any poetry since we studied it at school. And it seems that the commercial aspect of the day has taken over from its meaning. Come late January, you can’t move in any shop for  stuffed cuddly toys holding hearts and other Valentine’s Day paraphernalia. Even the petrol garages have jumped on the band wagon of selling anything that could be seen as a token of affection.

However, we believe that romance does exist but that it’s merely taken on a different form, a modern form whereby a Facebook poke has become the equivalent of that flirtatious look and an ‘x’ at the end of a text means so much more than just an x. So maybe we should take a break from our hectic schedules and busy lifestyles and bring some old fashioned romance back into our lives, the sort that involves mushy words and face-to-face interaction.

Single? Valentines Day isn’t just for couples, show your loved ones that you care and treat them instead! And if you are in a relationship, make this Valentines Day about spending time with each other.
