‘We’ve been together ever since’: Swansea couple celebrate 63 years of marriage after moving into care home together

Margaret and David Beynon moved into Peniel Green Care Home on 21 January and have already become firm favourites with staff and residents. They’re the only married couple living at the home — and their love story stretches back nearly seven decades.

‘He didn’t show up… then we had a row… and we’ve been together ever since’

Margaret was 17 when she first met David, then 19, during a day out with friends in 1958. She still remembers the nerves — and the drama.

“I was out with a friend and we met up with these two boys. I was so shy on the day we met that we rearranged a new date — where David didn’t show up,” she said.

“So third time lucky, we went on another date, where David and I had a row over him not showing up the previous time. We have been together ever since.”

The pair married in 1962 — a day Margaret calls “the best day of our lives.”

A family built on six decades of love

Since that wedding day, the couple have raised two daughters, welcomed four grandchildren and celebrated the arrival of six great‑grandchildren.

David still talks about Margaret with the same affection he had as a teenager.

“She’s been the best wife,” he said.

Margaret smiled back:

“I couldn’t ask for a better husband.”

Settling into life at Peniel Green

Staff say the couple have brought warmth and joy into the home from the moment they arrived.

Lisa Sullivan, Senior Wellbeing Coordinator at Peniel Green, said:

“Margaret and David are a beautiful, loving couple, and we are so pleased they have come here to start a new chapter in their lives. What a beautiful love story.”

Rhian Dummer, Home Administrator, added:

“It has been wonderful to hear Margaret and David’s story and to see the affection they have for each other. Their love is truly inspiring and brings a lot of joy to everyone here at Peniel Green.”

A Valentine’s date, 63 years on

To mark Valentine’s Day, Margaret has invited David on a “Valentine’s Cake and Cuppa Date” in the home’s dining room — a chance to celebrate their enduring romance with fellow residents and staff.

Peniel Green says it is “delighted” to be part of the couple’s ongoing journey and is already looking forward to celebrating more milestones with them.

Nearly 70 years after a shy teenager and a no‑show date sparked their first argument, Margaret and David are still choosing each other — every single day.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Today is the 24th birthday of the Budapest Open Access Initiative.
https://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/read/

Best known for catalyzing the #OpenAccess movement in 2002, the BOAI has been continuously active and formed a nonprofit organization just last year.
https://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/news/boai-transitioning-to-organization-to-support-the-development-of-equitable-open-access/

See the org's progress report on its first year.
https://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/news/boai-celebrates-anniversary-and-reflects-on-progress-of-first-year-as-an-organization/

The latest version of the BOAI recommendations is its 20th anniversary statement.
https://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/boai20/

In contrast to the earlier BOAI statements, which made many recommendations, the 20th anniversary statement deliberately focuses on a small number of top priorities:

1. Adopting #OpenInfrastructure
2. Reforming #ResearchAssessment
3. Moving away from #APCs
4. Moving away from #ReadAndPublish agreements.

I'm proud of my contributions to #BOAI (2002), #BOAI10 (2012), and #BOAI20 (2022), and honored to serve on the org steering committee.

Happy #ValentinesDay to all who work for #OpenAccess worldwide.

John Cage & Merce Cunningham

"It's very simple now, because I'm looking forward to seeing you again rather than backward to having seen you recently. That's a happy way to be" __ Cage

John Cage first met Merce Cunningham in 1938 when he was still married to Xenia Kashevaroff. Their paths crossed again in 1942 + Cage invited Cunningham, who was a member of the Martha Graham Dance Company, to work on a project. Their collaboration turned into a life-long creative + romantic partnership. Cunningham founded his own dance company in 1953 with Cage serving as the company’s music director, a position he held until his death. They staged over 50 dance works together.

Jozef Garlinski & Eileen Short

"I shan't make any attempt to get away, I shall stay in Warsaw. I will wait for you"

On the 1st of September 1939 Nazi Germany invaded Poland. 25-year-old Christian Pole Jozef Garlinski had just fallen in love with Eileen Short, an Irish nurse on an exchange visit from Liverpool. His colonel gave him an hour's leave to get married before the regiment left for the front. Eileen's parting words to Jozef were her commitment to wait.

Jozef joined the Polish underground resistance. He was arrested in April 1943 + arrived at Auschwitz in May. Eileen remained in Warsaw. During the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 she helped care for wounded. The German SS captured + shot anyone who looked like a soldier or who was wearing an armband. Eileen survived only because her red cross armband had falllen off + was stuffed in her pocket. The survivors were taken to a camp for civilians near the city. She escaped from the camp + spent the next few months with relatives of Jozef..

Jozef + Eileen had decided before the war that if they were separated + the Soviets took over Poland they would head for the West + contact each other through Eileen's mother in Ireland. Their plan was successful, both reaching London where they settled + raised their son.
