Folksy Friday

Well I'm not a big fan of February, as its cold and Christmas seems like it was so long ago, and spring feels like it will never arrive, so I thought I would warm us up a little with a bit of love....and well Valentines is only just over a week away. So if you haven't sorted that card or gift yet for that special someone then look no further, this weeks folksy friday will hopefully give you a few ideas....
