Sheila and I got engaged on Valentine's Day thirty years ago, but are appalled by the hype that has overtaken it since then. We stay home in the evening now, and celebrate our own way.
The Engagement night out was one to remember (or forget), we went to a Valentines Dinner Dance at a local hotel. In a room that would have held most of a hundred, there were fourteen people (including the band!). The most musical thing the band did was assemble the drum kit. From there on it got worse.
Fortunately the marriage has made up for it!
