You are such a romantic, Colleen, and Ron is a very lucky man as I’m sure he already knows from the day he first met you.
Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day and enjoy each others company over the weekend. I know you guys see each other every day, but live it like the day you got married to each other.

Awww Hugh that is the sweetest thing anyone has ever said said to us. Thank you so much. We will have a nice weekend. We are a bit under the weather at present. I think we are just worn out, so a few days of leisure will be fabulous. I hope you and John have a fabulous Valentine’s Day too. ❤

Take care. xx
