HRI should stand for Hopelessly Romantic Indeed.
A quick ask around and CHFT Weekly has found three lovely love stories amongst colleagues for Valentine's Week.
Janitor Alan Bootland and Ward 3's Sharon Makin - top picture - have been together for 15 years and, from the kitchens, Adrian Brown - bottom left - and Lee Earnshaw, and their partners, share what makes their sausages sizzle!! They both met their partners at work making them proper Kitchen Cupids.
Enjoy our lighthearted round-up
Sharon Makin and Alan Bootland
How long have you been together? 15 years
Was is love a first sight? Don't know about love, but it was definitely attraction at first sight.
Did you meet at work? No, we met in a pub at the bottom of Newsome Road. It might have been called the Royal back then.
How long have you both been working here? Sharon - 8 years this time and Alan 6 years. We just applied for the jobs we're in. It's quite funny really.
Do you think you'll ever get married? Possibly, maybe one day, who knows. Nothing's planned but it's not off cards. We've been together that long and lived together, we're quite happy how we are.
On a lighter note, who's the cleanest at home? Sharon is, but Alan is the best cook. What his best meal then Sharon? Everything!
What's your signature dish then Alan? I make delicous Yorkshire Puddings, they're the best. Are they Sharon? YES
What you're favourite cleaning product/household appliance? Hmm, it's got to be my cordless Dyson, it's an animal!
Any bad habits? Only his snoring
How long have you been living together? 14 years and we still live in Newsome.

Lee Earnshaw and ward 12 staff nurse Paula Jones.
What attracted you to your partner and how long have you been together? We have been together for 14 years I was attracted to her because of her smile and because she was a hard working Healthcare.
Was it love at first sight? Yes, it was love at first sight! We first met whilst I was serving food on the ward. She was then a healthcare helping serve food.
Favourite date night you both like and why? Favourite date is sat in Bridlington Harbour seating a bag of chips, then doughnuts.
Opposites attract or are you similar? Tell us what makes you a good match. We are similar as we both like the same things this is why we are a good match.
Funny story from your time together which always makes you laugh. Lots of people think I am older than Paula but in fact I am younger by four months.

Adrian Brown and his missus, Michelle.
What attracted you to your partner and how long have you been together? We have been together for 30 years but we've only been married for 10. March is our anniversary. We married in Venezuela when we were both 40 (see photo). We went to school together and knew each other from the age of seven or eight but only got together when we both worked at Storthes Hall hospital.
Was it love at first sight? How did you meet? At school we didn’t get on, but love blossomed once we got know each other whilst working.
Favourite date night you both like and why? Going out for a nice meal just the two of us. Italian is our favourite.
Opposites attract or are you similar? Tell us what makes you a good match. We are similar and have similar interests and this is probably why we are a good match.
Funny story from your time together which always makes you laugh. One Valentine's night we were at a restaurant and we shared a dessert of profiteroles. I pushed the last one over with my fork like in the Disney film Lady and the Tramp and every time we see this film or see profiteroles on the menu it makes us giggle (see photo).
