My Funny Valentine

I am a romantic.

Not a hearts and chocolates and champagne romantic, but a letter writing, sitting on a bench, kite flying, no words necessary, foxtrotting romantic.

My grandpa used to serenade my grandma at tea time. Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, you name it – he knew the entire Cole Porter songbook…. and for this reason, so do I.

I could sit and listen to music from that era for hours… and I often do. It’s a glimpse back in time… and it fills me with happiness.

Here’s a playlist I’ve put together for your listening pleasure, which I’ve been listening to via the magic of bluetooth on my Emma Bridgewater VQ radio… (you can win one of these – just see the bottom of this post)

I’ve included some of my favourite songs , which my grandparents used to dance around the kitchen to… and which hold a place in my own personal memories too…
