#Valentine Hearts beat on Peter Street #citydailyphoto



If two hearts beat as one, do six beat as three? 

Happy St.Valentine's Day, especially to all of those without a valentine to rest their head upon. 

St Valentine is also the Patron Saint of beekeepers. The worker bee was adopted as a motif for Manchester during the Industrial Revolution, at a time when Manchester was taking a leading role in new forms of mass production. Seven bees are included in the crest of the city's arms which were granted to the Borough of Manchester in 1842.The bee denotes Mancunians' hard work during this era and Manchester being a hive of activity in the 19th century (Wikipedia).

  4. Was never as good at math as I hoped, but I think the answer's yes! I only learned yesterday that St. V was patron saint of beekeepers, how perfect for your Mancunian blog today!

  7. Do six beat as three? I don't know, Chrissy, that is a bit kinky for me! Hope you had a good Valentine's Day and that you found a valentine to rest your head on. Even if it was a borrowed head.
