So who is Jack Valentine? Happy Valentine's from the farm shop

We're on the edge of the Norfolk county boundary here at the Farm Shop and Jack Valentine is very much part of Norfolk folklore.

Also known as Father Valentine or Mother Valentine Jack Valentine knocks on the door on Valentine's Eve (or Valentine's Day), he leaves a present but vanishes when the door is opened. In Victorian times children eagerly awaited Jack Valentine as much as they did Father Christmas, somehow either Mum or Dad always missed his arrival!

Don't worry if Jack Valentine didn't visit we're giving away rolls of Love Heart sweets in the Tea Room & Farm Shop today ~ Happy Valentine's.
