Happy Valentine!

Happy Valentine all blippers!
This is a nicely decorated garden in my neighbourhood. 
Myself, I don't really relate to celebrating Valentine day. Although it has been celebrated by the European upper class since the beginning of the 15th century, this tradition did never did reach Sweden (my old country). Not until the sixties people in Sweden started to give some attention to the day, but not many. It was the business people who wanted us to celebrate the day, for pure commercial reasons. The interest for the day grew very slowly. At the end of the millennium, young Swedes were in for it, though. We older people mostly ignored it. However, today it gives me something to blip, wich is not bad.
