Love is in the air  ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 

February – shorter than other months, but still as loveable. Last month we celebrated St Dwynwen’s day– when we honoured our Welsh patron saint of lovers. This month, St Valentine’s Day is almost upon us, – a day of love and affection for each other.  

We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy valentine’s day! Love and be loved! P.S. If you who want to brush up on the language of love, click here.
