My 1st Connect Valentine - Siamese? No, bound by ideas

[Ewaade_3A]

I am very excited, and In case you are wondering why, it’s because Valentine’s is around the corner.

Many people have come to tag February; “the season of Love”.
I am glad this is not remotely true, else, every one stops loving after February and we take in all of our gear, love and other paraphernalia associated with the season.
You know I am going overboard, right? Well, that was the intention.

So, I am going to show you a picture and tell you the story behind this picture.

I was on a weekend getaway when I checked two of the Local Guides group I belong to and discovered that it was the birthday of two Local Guides.

I love birthdays!

So, I decided to put a call through to each of them.

The second person did not know who it was calling but was as cheerful as most people would be on their birthdays, so, I decided to pull a prank!

I mustered the best (of what we Nigerians call) ‘Customer Care voice’ saying I was from a renowned cake company and had been ordered to drop off cake at their residence but I needed a description and an Address .

You don’t prank people on their birthdays, right? so, I got up and went off to Nuts about Cakes and decided to go surprise this amazing Local Guide who was unavoidably absent, but had left orders for the cake to be delivered.

It was on my way out of the Estate to the major road, I chanced upon this beach and made a detour to the Elegushi Royal Beach where I would learn and take the Beginner Classes in Horse riding (Horse Riding 101).

Now, it’s your turn to search for that “One local Guide” who;

1. You have ‘met’ on at least 1 of these three Connect Boards; Food and Drink , Photography, Travel,
2. You often meet on other Local Guides’ posts
3. You share similar views on various topics across Boards

After you narrow down your list and select that one Local Guide, I encourage you to please drop off a Virtual gift in this album; My Connect Valentine’s Virtual Gift

Let’s go…

Please go ahead to our Nadya’s post and tell us what Love means to you.

All the best

The primary purpose of this exercise is to celebrate our “uniqueness and the bonds of friendship” we have been able to cultivate as members of this community. The secondary purpose is to see if there are Local Guides who have same interests across categories who are not yet connected, you can already guess why right?

Great way to celebrate with fellow local guides @Ewaade_3A

Loved the idea of virtual gifts for local guides we met on connect.

[Ewaade_3A]

Thank you very much my dear @FalguniP @. I came to realise that two people may be great friends, but may not exactly share same passion or views on the Connect topics.

I have really great Local vibe friends who I chat with and all, but we have never met on another Local Guide’s post, I see some people and one Local Guide in particular who…

Let me not give too much away

[Ewaade_3A]

Thank you @Pravind_Yadav for looking at all those pictures

Connect is our beach for this season;

Like those people at the beach, so, we, Local Guides are.

In this exercise, I want you to stare out to the Horizon where the sky seems to meet the sea and see if there is another Local Guide just like you (male or female) who you share the same views and passion with on the Connect topics across the Food, Travel and Photography Boards;

I want you to drop off a gift for this Local Guide for Valentine in the Album I have shared.

So, enjoy this Virtual Horse riding with me, will you?

What name do I call you?

[Ewaade_3A]

I have 505 approved places added to Maps, many of these are Small businesses. For Ewaade, "what happens on Maps, stays on Maps’

Now, let’s focus on the topic;

Who’s that One Local Guide for you?

Nice post by the way @Anil6969

Thank you. I am glad you like it. I wish I can even accept the credits, I am just a ‘pencil’, like a pot in the hands of the Potter, just a vessel bringing these.

Now, will you participate? @TravellerG

[Dr_AlwyPaul]

This is great but a thoughtful way of celebrating valentine’s day my friend @Ewaade_3A I love sending gifts to my friends and family. We, the local guides community is our family too. Right?

Just a simple note to everyone: I love cakes. Blackforest and sans rival are my favorite.
