But he did this thing for the first time that I would see later in the relationship of backtracking.

Oh, no, I said to him, oh, I'm not well connected and I don't like that sort of, I'm not interested in that sort of world.

And he said, oh, no, no, no, I'm not interested in that.

in someone well connected, I'm very, very private.

I, you know, even when I was an architect, I didn't have my, I wouldn't let my work, my firm's work be published in architectural magazines.

Oh no.

So it was a backtrack and it,

It was weird, but I bought it.

I thought, okay, that's fine.

Did he tell you much about his own life at that first date?

He talked a lot about the farm and the sheep, and I'm a journalist, and so I switched into journalism mode and I asked about sheep.

I learnt all about the sheep.

And I think later he told me, oh, you ask quite intelligent questions about sheep.

And I wasn't faking it because I love the idea of living on a farm and...

Working with sheep, you know, perhaps that's naive of me, but it sounds quite appealing.

It's quite alluring.

It's a farmer fantasy.

Of course, I had fantasised about farmers before.

I don't apologise for that.
