Leap Year Proposals 
Ladies, 2008 is a leap year. Traditionally February 29 is the one day of the year a woman can propose to the man of her choice. In some areas it was also law that if the chosen gentleman declined he had to pay a fine, ranging from payment for silk gloves up to payment for a silk gown. With dramatic scenery and a huge range of very different activities to choose from, where could be more perfect for a proposal than Cumbria, the Lake District? If you're thinking of popping the question, visit golakes.co.uk/valentine for some inspiration. |
