No one is 100% sure about the earliest celebration of Valentine’s but there are a few stories that may explain it. Many believe that Valentine’s Day can be traced back to a Roman fertility festival known as Lupercalia. Some think it marks the death of Saint Valentine, who died on February 14th. Another story is that Emperor Claudius banned all marriages and engagements in Rome and Valentine realised the injustice and continued to marry young lovers in private. When Claudius found out he ordered Valentine to be killed, hence the evolution of Valentine’s Day. There are many similar stories but today it is celebrated in many cultures as a day of love and romance.

Excellent service from Footstools Direct. I ordered samples which came in 2 days. I phoned to make a query which was dealt with in a friendly manner. I ordered cube seats which arrived a week after ordering.

I must've called just as staff were walking in the door, if not not even left thier home yet, but they were still really supportive. We went over what I was after, after my giving a very brief description but they were able to help. When the footstool arrived, I was really impressed as it looks almost identical to the one which needs replacing. At's already in use and my father loved his birthday gift!
