I know a lot of you may not appreciate Valentine's Day but I myself love it. Some of you may be a little critical and call it a day made by card companies or men, especially, may see it as a woman's day to be spoilt and pampered. But that doesn't have to be so. I believe that Valentine's Day is a day for both of you to enjoy your relationship and relish the fact that you're still together – a day to reignite the spark if you like. I suppose the thing that frustrates me the most is the fact that once Valentine's Day is over, the spark may be lost again. Why not create your garden into a haven for the both of you? So after a long days work you can both sit in the garden and enjoy each other's company with atmospheric lighting. I myself know how hard it is to keep the spark alive, but I have fallen in love with romantic lighting. You can choose to have a short term solution such as lanterns, although I wouldn't recommend such – especially if you are wanting to have more romantic nights in with your loved one rather than waiting for the one day a year that you know is going to be special. Instead I have come across outdoor uplighters. in which you can put on your path, wall or even driveway (although you probably won't want to relax in your driveway I was just impressed at how strong they are!). If you are sick of partying and just want to relax and feel comfortable then I believe that this is the perfect solution. I don't think there are enough people in the UK that pride themselves on their garden but I believe that a beautiful garden definitely will bring the price up on your property. It's your own private outdoor space that you can do whatever you like in it, buy a hot-tub or install a swimming pool (heated probably!) it can be the beginning of many different hobbies or parties. If you want a change and want to impress your family and friends then invest some time and effort into your garden. Make it a beautiful space that you can sit and relax in. Enjoy Valentine's Day and the joy it brings to you, whether or not you choose to have a quiet night in your garden. But don't forget there are always ways to decorate your garden or home to make it romantic enough for the both of you. Afterall, you can never have too much romance. All it takes is the right atmosphere and mood and a little time to yourselves. You can be the couple that are still in the honeymoon period even if you have been together for over 30 years.
