4. He carries all the heavy shopping bags and lets you carry the light one.
5. He makes you bacon butties on a Saturday and gets the crispiness of the bacon just right, every time.
6. He builds you a specific cupboard, and a shelf in the garage for all the cake making stuff, even though you don’t use them all that often.

10. He books an impromptu outing to the local RHS garden because the weather’s nice and it would be good to get out.
11. He buys all the fresh ingredients for the green BakedIn box because he’s read the email before you have and gets the stuff in ready so you can bake it as soon as you can.
12. He books tickets for the cinema just because you’d said that you wanted to see a film.
