Affair Quote by Cynthia Lennon
“When John was with me, it was total commitment. Whatever he did outside our relationship didn't seem very important. We were together such a lot of the time that whatever other affairs he had once we met couldn't have amounted to much because I was with him most of the time. He kept me in Liverpool as late as I dared stay.”

![“Noel [Charles, husband] and I love cooking. He does his cooking and I do mine. I'm the traditional English cook, with a twist now and then. Because I was married to an Italian, I'm also pretty good at Italian food. Noel, he can cook anything, so can Julian.” quote by Cynthia Lennon](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/7ae/cynthia-lennon-29663_cooking_noel-charles-husband-and-i-love-cooking_1883696.jpg)
