Valentine's Day falls on a Sunday this year - which means most of us will be able to do something special.
Due to lockdown meals at restaurants are off the cards and some couples may not be able to spend the day together, and instead will mark the occasion with a viideo call.
If you are together
Make your loved one breakfast in bed.
There's something incredibly luxurious about this. You could get creative with heart-shaped toast or pancakes, or just make their favourite breakfast, especially if it is something they rarely have time to prepare.
Have a picnic in the garden - or the house
If you've left it too late to order a special afternoon tea delivery, you can put together some cakes, sandwiches and savouries and treat yourselves. Given the very cold weather in East Anglia this year, it may end up being a picnic in the house though!
Go for a romantic walk
c walkExercise still has to be near home, but in beautiful East Anglia there is almost bound to be somewhere close to home where you can go for a special walk, with just the two of you.
Arrange a movie night
Instead of just watching TV as normal, choose a film you are both keen to see, turn the lights down and have popcorn or special movie snacks, perhaps with a glass of wine, so that it's more like the experience of going to the cinema.
Put hearts in your windows
Children can also get involved in creating colourful hearts for Valentine's Day and put them in your windows, as they have with rainbow pictures the hugely successful Rainbow Trail. You could also choose rainbow colours to carry on the theme.
