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.
And if Martin Hemming's office was his home, his staff were an extended family.
But behind the scenes, there were difficulties.
Despite being a workaholic, Martin's business didn't seem to be making that much money.
Some months, the Hemmings' only source of income was Ros's National Trust wages, which were extremely modest, barely minimum wage.
The family operated on a shoestring.
