Thousands of people got stoned here at music festivals in the late 1960s. And, in the very un-hippyish Covid summer of 2020, Hunter Davies and his girlfriend escaped locked-down North London for a week’s holiday on the Isle of Wight, fell in love with its sleepy charm – and ended up buying a Grade II-listed love nest in the elegant Victorian seaside resort of Ryde. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLove in Old Age \u003c\/i\u003etells the story of their first twelve months on the island. It brings together the themes of love in old age; Covid lockdown; rural escape; the anxieties of house-buying; and the history and curiosities of England’s largest and second most populous island – all bound together by Hunter Davies’s inquisitiveness about people and places, and his irrepressible and ironic sense of humour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57306205520254,"sku":"NW9781801104098","price":10.57,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781801104098.jpg?v=1778528194","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/love-in-old-age","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
