Marga Scheide about Valentine's Day in Weekend magazine
The February 11th issue of Weekend magazine featured a short article about Marga discussing Valentine's Day. "It's an exciting day for single people. My partner Michiel always did something about it, which I liked. When you're with someone, it's nice to have a day like that in the year when you can emphasise that you love someone. You can say that Valentine's Day is commercial, but I think that day reminds you to do something thoughtful for your partner. I don't think it's forced on you because you can't do it either. But you can buy a rose," Marga said.
