MY VALENTINE

Today is Valentines Day.Valentine's Day, also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is celebrated annually on February 14. It originated as a Christian feast day honouring a martyr named Valentine and through later folk traditions it has also become a significant cultural, religious and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world.
 I have been with my Valentine for 58 years and I still love him heaps. Here are some photos of my Valentine over the years.
