      Love is an amazing emotion – it can mean being ‘in love’ or loving someone like you love your family. There are millions of songs and poems which try to describe it and I’m no poet so I’ll leave describing it to them! But I am newly engaged so I am a big fan of love and firmly believe that there should be more of it in the world – it could surely help with all of the awful conflicts that are happening at the moment.

      hmmmmmmmmm…. this is a very philosophical question…

      I remember when I was at school we learnt about different types of love- the mushy, lovey-dovey romantic love between a man & his wife or a boyfriend & girlfriend etc. But then there’s also love you feel for your friends, & a different love you feel for your family.

      Do you think it’s possible to love someone you don’t know? Like when people donate to charity, or when people risk their own life to save the life of someone in danger- do you think they are showing love for those people?

      Something stronger than interest but so passionate, probably?
