I am glad Mrs Troy appreciated your efforts.<BR/><BR/>I did not receive very expensive silk underwear, and nor was I treated to a trip to Venice, but I did get to go to Model World's 2009 exhibition in Brighton. Sadly, this was not a display of fit young men, but a very large collection of miniature trains/planes/boats/tanks/circuses/doll houses/and so on. Rather odd, but fascinating. The kids loved it!Leigh Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01651812577518625326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110266514688952362.post-12457510373363611932009-02-16T16:19:00.000+00:002009-02-16T16:19:00.000+00:00Ken - only for a few weeks I hope!Catharine - I'm ...Ken - only for a few weeks I hope!<BR/><BR/>Catharine - I'm sure Mrs Troy is already looking forward to the next time, probably 2015.Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05279890687481412751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110266514688952362.post-65895361092855706582009-02-16T11:07:00.000+00:002009-02-16T11:07:00.000+00:00Great to hear that true romance isn't dead!!Great to hear that true romance isn't dead!!Catharine Withenayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06936767499911371984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110266514688952362.post-23611083658835851302009-02-16T09:55:00.000+00:002009-02-16T09:55:00.000+00:00Oh blimey, another blog I've got to hide from my w...Oh blimey, another blog I've got to hide from my wife!Grumpy Old Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828200865710133059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7110266514688952362.post-6402903668289627632009-02-15T20:32:00.000+00:002009-02-15T20:32:00.000+00:00LWM - yes I did feel a hero.

Thanks...GotW - its nice to be romantic and frugal. Thanks for your comment.<BR/><BR/>Debs - It is not a comfortable place to be. Often they put lingerie next to the ladies changing rooms so I have to hang around there whilst Mrs Troy tries things on. I make frequent glances at the changing rooms to show I'm not just lurking around the underwear. But people probably just think I'm trying to look into the changing rooms!<BR/><BR/>Denyse - I think the surprise factor is the key. I don't like to be predictable.<BR/><BR/>Dotterel - Mrs Troy is a stripper in a lap dancing club so the underwear on display is not a problem. I actually asked her permission before I did the blog. She read the draft first and approved it.

Every day should be Valentine's day in some small measure but it is nice that you made an obvious show of your appreciation for her. Expensive lingere and trips to Venice? bah! I had all that many years ago and it means nothing compared to the wonderfulness of what I have with Chopper every day.

What a lovely chap you are. I got teased Himself had forgotten, as no mention of the day was made, so I just ignored it to. Then a card and a big red fluffy stuffed heart appeared mid-morning. So all was forgiven. Like you and Mrs T I thought we had an understanding, No More Gifts... too commercial and all that. The last few years we have settled for a hug and kiss and a wish for Happy Valentines Day, but he saw this fluffy heart in a charity ( charity!!!) shop.<BR/>Ain't love grand.<BR/>Love GrannyMarian Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06765534146844251398noreply@blogger.com
