Halfway through the week already and just 3 more days until Valentine’s Day! I am really getting into the Valentine’s swing this year and I am really enjoying sharing some Valentine’s posts with you all.
On Monday Kelly H carefully selected some amazing Valentine’s cards from across the internet and we had a fantastic response from the post so today we are sharing with you two amazing cocktail recipes from www.uk.thebar.com, one for him and one for her, although there is nothing to say which one is which!
