Lots of love for strange old ways (6)
I believe the answer is:
oodles
'lots of' is the definition.
(informal term for a large amount)
'love for strange old ways' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'strange' indicates an anagram.
'ways' becomes 'es' (east and south - two directions).
'old' with letters rearranged gives 'odl'.
'o'+'odl'+'es'='OODLES'
(Other definitions for oodles that I've seen before include "Very many, lots" , "Very great amount (colloq.)" , "Lashings, loads" , "Tons, scads" , "Large indefinite number" .)
