Valentine is a wonderful day and we from TB make it even more wonderful;) Also we take this opportunity to celebrate Jos birthday, ha ha must be an unforgettable day for Jos;) Love from all of us:)

How this Valentine's day meetup all begins.....

TB Valentine meetup, thanks to Dennis having such a creative idea for the name card;)

I had attended the New Year day dinner meetup, it was really a great meetup, glad to see those familiar faces and also those new faces:) I was talking to Devi about arranging a day for a mini meetup, later I thought maybe is nice to have all the ladies gathering one time.

So I shared this thoughts with Anna, after a discussion over it, is kind of difficult to arrange a meetup without this person and that person. After several meetups each of us will definitely know someone better and the friendship from there will grow closer too. Automatically one will wish his or her close friends able to join the meetup and that is how it all end up for this Valentine's Day meetup!

The best part of this meetup is our dear friend, Jos, his birthday falls on 15th Feb, so we took this great opportunity to celebrate his birthday today. Jos I hope this day brings u lots of sweet sweet memories:) I'm really honour to have the opportunity sitting next to u:)
I feel honour to organise this meetup together with Anna and Dennis, is really a nice experience being an organiser. It is also nice to get to know those first timer for the TB meetups and also nice to meet those new faces, we have so much fun, laughter and sharing with each people.

Here I have put up the photos taken from this Valentine's Day meetup, hope all of you enjoy viewing and for those who can't make it for this meetup, I hope to meet them soon in the future meetups:) For those that I have not meet in person, I wish we would have the opportunity to meet soon:)

Cozy place for dining
Het Koetshuis de "Burcht" is located about 15 to 20min walk from the Leiden central station and is located next to the burcht and library building. Inside the restaurant the decoration is simple and cozy. They have very friendly staff and very wonderful food.
In the summer they will prepared those seats at the terras where people can enjoy the sun outside while having a coffee or teabreak.
Inside there are 2 dining area, one which is the main dining and the other one which located upstairs, that can be a perfect privacy place for personal party.
In their menu beside A La Carte they do serve different choices of buffets.
We had high tea over there and their high tea, I would say is a Dutch style instead of English style high tea.
Is really wonderful place with wonderful food:)
