What is Love? 2015.

Our Wedding Day

2015 taught me what love is.

1. Love is being with someone who doesn’t argue when you insist you want your dogs to come on holidays with you.


2. Love is lending someone your favourite head phones and not yelling at them when they accidentally rip them to pieces doing something silly.

3. Love is cleaning every smudge and fixing every crack in the wall, shampooing every stain on the carpet and replacing every broken set of blinds your kids broke whilst at the same time tearfully recalling the foolhardy shenanigans that caused them with a fond nostalgia.


4. Love is getting up to bring your partner coffee in bed when you know they’re only pretending to be asleep even though it’s their turn to do it.

5. Love is patiently explaining the theory of relativity to your partner even though you know that deep down they’re far too stupid to ever understand it… not even in a bazillion light years.

6. Love is waiting patiently in the car while your partner disappears into a computer shop and three days pass before he reappears and you still don’t punch him in the chops.

7. Love is risking your life for your partner because she has a morbid fear of oven cleaner.

8. Love is offering to put a head on a spike in order to protect your loved one and warn off hostile infiltrators.

9. Love is protecting your loved one from rabid wildlife even though you are just as terrified as they are.

10. Love is being there for your loved one when everyone else they hold dear has left the nest.


Wishing you all a happy new year in 2016 everyone and hoping love finds you.
