Date Ideas
- Go for a walk in the cool of the evening – it doesn’t matter if there is no moon or stars visible you have each other.
- One evening create your ‘power failure’ turn off all the lights and get out the safety candles or do everything in the dark!
- Make home-made ice cream together then feed each other.
- Just enjoy a lazy day together – chilling out.
- Washing the car together can be fun. This one’s best done when the weather is not cold!
- Do you have a local street or farmers market nearby, go together – you don’t have to buy anything, you can just talk about what meal you could prepare and enjoy from some of what is on sale.
