Hello lovely people
In his autobiography, Vince Cable, the British MP, says the following:
“We are bombarded with images of young love though, if most youthful romance is anything like mine, the reality is crippled by inexperience, shyness, embarrassment, overexcitement and fear – of pregnancy, inadequacy or rejection.
We are rarely told that people in their 50s, 60s, 70s and even 80s fall in love. It is perhaps assumed that wrinkles and balding heads are an insuperable barrier to physical attraction, that sex stops at the menopause and its male equivalent, and that the simple shared pleasures of amorous affection diminish with age. I now know that those things are not true.”
Vince is happily married to his second wife, after being happily married to his first wife.
