The season for lovers

Oh, to retreat; what a simple way for lovers to spend a long weekend. With doors a-flung they make like Parisians, swirling jammy Zinfandels and baptising chunks of bread in balsamic. The wind and rain's no inconvenience to two who'd rather be locked indoors. If your romantic getaway’s been on the backburner, the time is nigh to burn the midnight oil. This month, we celebrate the season for lovers.
