When we’ve told people we’re coming here, they go, “You’re going to a hospice?” They immediately think I’m gonna snuff it. Of course I am, but it’s not imminent — hopefully. And so we sort of put them right, and then when we tell them what it’s like, they say, “Oh, that sounds lovely.”

There’s no pressure to do anything. No pressure to be involved in anything. You can do what you want. You can be as sociable as you want. On your own as much as you want. There’s no pressure anywhere to do anything. The people are just so nice — you feel you can do or say anything, really.
