"There was no romance and flowers like nowadays": Irish pensioners teach us about real love
<3 <3 <3
IN THE LEAD-up to Valentine’s Day this Saturday, you might be looking for some inspiration in the love department.
Forget your fancy gurus or online experts. Turn to those who’ll tell you what love is really about: Irish pensioners.
As one of them put it:
There was no romance and flowers like nowadays, and bringing you away to Paris and all that, are you mad? That was never even heard of.
But does she love her husband?
I’m very much in love with John as the day I met him.
And that, folks, is what it’s all about.
Or as another woman in the video puts it:
I could kill him, but I won’t hold spite.
Oops, sorry, we meant this quote:
Love is… to me, is a saying. You care for one another. That is really love.
