VALENTINES DAY 2010
What better way to celebrate a day of love, romance, and utter appreciation for your other half, lover, or close friends than to swoon them with some lavish gifts or festivities. The Posh Review has compiled some fantastic Valentines Day ideas to sweep those special to you off of their feet!
1) Visit Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir Break
It’s hard to say what’s best about Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons. Is it the glorious Cotswold location, the beautiful gardens, the individually decorated rooms or the exceptional food? Le Manoir is the fulfilment of chef Raymond Blanc’s vision to open the perfect hotel and restaurant. Housed in a lovingly restored 15th century manor in Great Milton, Oxfordshire, this is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and spend some special time together. The menu has been described as ‘a twist of imaginative genius’ and the cuisine is undoubtedly the focus of every guest’s visit.
You’ll enjoy a five course Menu Classique meal at the two-Michelin-starred restaurant, followed by an overnight stay in a superb Junior Suite. The following morning, after a fine French breakfast, take some time to wander in the beautiful gardens: a magnificent two acre vegetable and herb garden, an English water garden, fed by natural springs, and a tranquil Japanese tea garden. You’ll also take home a signed copy of one of Raymond’s cookery books. A five course meal at the two-Michelin-starred restaurant.

This moon at the Gasometer is inside a cathedral-like space area which also houses replicas of the sun and all its planets. The heavenly bodies take up a total space of 223 feet. The sculptors have paid a lot of attention to detailing and accuracy. All of their data has been collected from high-resolution satellite images of the moon and its proud neighbors. The ethereal music and the great lighting bring their own charm to the whole affair.
