What sweeps me off my feet? It's not a huge bunch of roses, a surprise trip to Venice, or a romantic meal.
It's when, shivering, at a train stop my card refused to work at the ticket machine, and someone behind me calmly said:
'Do you need a hand with that? I can buy your ticket if you like - those machines can be temperamental.'
As I fumbled in my wallet to find the change to pay my mystery saviour back he simply waved his hand and said, 'Don't worry about it, I'm just happy to help,' as he strode off into the distance.
Now with a heart like that, who needs diamonds?
