Then there are accounts of the early Christian church getting involved; in 496AD, Pope Gelasius formally rebranded February 14 as St Valentine’s Day. But it was Geoffrey Chaucer who first made links with the date and romantic love via poetry in 1382, while the first recorded Valentine’s note was sent by a Frenchman, the Duke of Orléans after his capture following the 1415 Battle of Agincourt. In it, he calls his wife ‘my very sweet Valentine’.

Traditionally, Mother’s Day represented a chance to return to your ‘mother church’. Today, the focus is firmly on showing mum how much she means to you, typically in the form of a gift.

Essentially, the style goes back more than two hundred years, as a fashion which grew in popularity across Europe. It’s most usually associated with artists, writers and intellectuals, as well as others who favour a nomadic-type lifestyle.
