last year a lady in the north of england was astonished to receive an extremely surprising valentine's present from her husband of 28 years, a live donkey. 
 
marion stephenson's husband took her on a date to a field near their home, where he presented her with maggie, a two-year-old donkey. 
 
mrs stephenson said, "i usually get a little thing like a small bunch of flowers, but this valentine's day it was a surprise to get a new donkey. i'm delighted." 
 
maggie joined the stephensons' other donkeys and it is hoped that she will deliver lots of foals(驹)
 
a more conventional way for couples to enjoy valentine's day is to take a short mini-break away to a romantic destination such as paris or venice.
