Being on the DT we all got an image to play with & I just love this image, I think

its really romantic & sweet..reminds me of the cold February night Nige took me out for a meal to 'The Black Cock'   ;0)  & then drove into the countryside, I had noooooooo idea what was going on lol to be honest I got a bit scared when he pulled over & turned all the lights out, then put his hand in his pocket....wasn't quite sure what was gonna come out lol..it could have been anything, thankfully it was a little box with a gorgeous ring in & that was over 15 years ago lol...

I decided to go totally away from traditional colours with this one & I think

 its turned out ok...
