valentine's menu..2008..£42.50 14th, 15th & 16th february .
I have the consciousness of loving hands that touch my own,
Of tender glance and gentle tone,
Of thoughts that cheer and bless
If sorrow comes to me I know
That my love will walk the way I go.
And as the shadows fall,
I know that I will raise my eyes
And see a hope that never dies
My dearest friend of all.
