WHEN Valerie Myers opened her Valentine’s card this morning she had a good idea of what to expect.

For Ken Myers has sent his wife the same card for more than 30 years.

However, the 71-year-old novelist always writes a new cryptic message on the inside of the card, which is now full of messages from the past three decades.

Mr Myers, of Leeds, a self-confessed romantic, began his unique way of saying “I love you” back in 1979, the year he married his sweetheart, Valerie.

He even created the romantic card himself – he used to work as a card designer back in the 1970s.

“I sent the card to Valerie in 1979, and then again in 1980. After that, I just carried on because it was a novelty,” he said.

Mr Myers, who writes under the name Ken McCoy, has had 14 romantic novels published.

His wife, 63, added: “I do love the card and it’s become really special to me over the years.

“It’s in very good condition,” she added.
