This is the story of nearly two years of looking after my elderly parents, Anna and Dave, who live in an old cottage in the English countryside. They are a stubborn couple. They lived through the Second World War and do not believe that anyone can teach them anything (except perhaps how to use a mobile phone) . Once upon a time she was a glamorous fashion model from the city and he was a handsome young country lad. Their meeting was romantic and destructive; their relationship loving and fiery. Now they must deal with the challenges of modern life, computers, pedal bins and duvet covers, and the problems of failing health and mobility. A funny, reflective and poignant account of love and old age.
