She'd grown up in a hard-working family of farmers...
The couple had come to Wales from Staffordshire in the early 90s and bought a very old, rickety but charming farmhouse, a 20-minute drive from Porthelly.
In 2001, this is a few years after Ros and Tim started working together, he tells Ros that his wife Sally's looking for work.
Roz's husband, Martin, ran a property surveyor's and estate agent in Pulcheli.
It was more of a family business, really.
Ros helped out there whenever she wasn't working at the National Trust site.
So I thought, well, this is great.
Janice worked in Martin Hemming's estate agents for years.
Did Sally fit into the office quite easily?
Was she comfortable?
Which is why an announcement Sally made at the office all of a sudden really stuck with Janice.
Wow.
Did you think she was making it up at the beginning?
And it was around this time that Ros came into the National Trust site one day and noticed that Tim had made an expensive purchase.
He turned up in this Land Rover, I think it was a Defender.
By this point, Debbie, Roz's daughter, had started working for Tim Walker in the National Trust Gardens.
Debbie's in her 40s and has the same sparkly, smiley eyes as her mum.
And she remembers the same unusually well-dressed man that her mum does.
Debbie and Tim were spending a lot of time together, so these two families were quite entwined.
Martin had given Sally her own room on the top floor where she could take care of the books in silence.
