Well, the time of year for dashing about frantically in an attempt to find or do something quite romantic for a loved one may have gone but who needs Saint Valentine to pull back his bow and tell us what to do or where to go?
Heart to heart
It’s that time of year when fluffy teddies, helium hearts and red roses clamour for attention in shop windows. Yes folks in case you haven’t noticed Sunday is Valentine’s Day! here are our top tips for places to check out over the weekend….
The Mystery Tea House is brewing up a special Valentine’s blend, the very tempting Temple of Love tea combines pink amaranth and jasmine flower. For just £2.40 this hot brew should thaw even the frostiest of hearts. If your amour fancies something a little stronger, and is of legal age, slip along to Fives for a Pixies Wing.

Hidden in the twisty country lanes just outside Preston as you head towards Blackpool is Bonds of Elswick. Makers of some of the finest ice cream I’ve ever tasted it’s well worth the short trip. Head out of Preston through Woodplumpton, tear through Inskip, and you’ll be in Elswick. It’s about 15 minutes drive.
Preston Indoor Market
Want quality fresh produce at low prices? Well, it’s here in Preston. For many the weekly trip to the supermarket has begun to replace religion. We wander the isles, gawping at special offers but are generally separated from our food. It doesn’t matter if we don’t know our pounds and ounces, all that’s important is the total number of pounds on the display at the checkout.
