Love is the word

SPeaKINg at a college graduation in New Orleans, helen Mirren gives women some advice. Don’t confuse sex with love, she says; love generally lasts longer than two minutes.

helen adds you should tell your parents you love them every week. Sound advice. Mum can’t speak on the phone any more, but I call Dad most days. We end with my saying I love him; he says he loves me more. he still has to have the last word.
