About Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is February 14. It isn't a public holiday anywhere, but restaurant bookings and flower orders sell out early, so the countdown is worth watching.
The day is named after Saint Valentine, and its link with romance goes back to the Middle Ages, when Chaucer wrote about birds choosing their mates in mid-February. Today it's one of the busiest days of the year for florists and restaurants. Popular restaurants often take bookings weeks ahead, and flower prices rise sharply in the final days.
