Only another week to Valentine’s Day weekend, and it has put me in mind of a very popular song when I was a young girl. You can listen to Herman’s Hermits singing this song on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gatIk3z9a7Y.

There’s a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world you can hear the sounds of lovers in love
You know what I mean
Just the two of us and nobody else in sight
There’s nobody else and I’m feeling good just holding you tight

So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn’t a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
I love you forever and ever

There’s a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world you can hear the sounds of lovers in love
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la

So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn’t a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
I love you forever and ever

There’s a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world people just like us are fallin’ in love
Yeah, they’re fallin’ in love
Hush, they’re fallin’ in love
Hush

We cannot all be songwriters and crooners of course, but we can serenade our loved ones in our own inimitable styles. For example, how about booking a surprise romantic breakaway stay in our welcoming B&B with your beloved? Perhaps add some champagne or wine, flowers and chocolates to the event? Even an in-room deep relaxing massage or beauty treatment by a therapist for those extra Brownie points?
