Andrew, you've always lived in Dorset.

Yeah.

But why did you end up in this part of Dorset?

And you didn't know anyone around here?

So how did you know about us?

This guy, Andrew, moved to the village and he'd met us both together at the same time in the pub.

And I would say that we both had a closeness to Andrew.

My closeness to Andrew was very much about talking about how I felt and how he felt.

And he would have various sort of unsuitable girlfriends.

He'd have sort of flings with people and I'd say, come on then, Andrew, tell me about it.

And he was rather candid.

I liked it.

He was very candid.

And you became a very good friend and I remember, you know, you'd come up a lot and we'd come down and see you and you were always a very cosy person to have around and it was always a delight when you used to come up and see us.

When I started to fall in love with Andrew, it was like my falling in love with him was a direct sort of parallel of my father dying.

So as my father was dying at home of cancer, I was falling deeper and deeper in love with this man, Andrew.

And Andrew would talk to me about my father dying because he'd been with his mother who died of a brain tumour.

He'd actually been sort of beside her bed with her as she died and during that period.

And I think I sort of valued being with someone because George's parents were both still very much alive at that point.

And I think for me it was a sort of... I felt he had an understanding of what it was like, and it was kind of very hard for me not to fall in love with him.
