“You have to say goodbye to certain things when you get to this age, and one of those things we learned just recently when we went on a holiday to Limerick. We had decided to go for a romantic afternoon walk, and we enjoyed it so much that we ended up walking from our hotel to Shannon airport, which is about 10 miles away. You see, we’re both in our 80s and running around just isn’t that easy anymore, but that walk was just fantastic. The next day we were very sore, and he hasn’t been able to walk as much ever since, but that day felt like a proper goodbye to long romantic walks. The hotel staff couldn’t get over it when we told them how far we went.”
