Well, they're Swiss, actually.
They're Swiss German.
But when you talk to them,
it's slightly Teutonic!
LAUGHTER:
Right.
Are you ready to come for a tour?
Ooh, yes. Wander round.
What was the family business?
Canning. Smedley's.
We canned everything.
Fruit, vegetables, peas.
We were the first...
You were Smedley's? Yes.
Like Smedley's Peas?
We are Smedley's Peas, yes.
Yes. I must have eaten
an awful lot of Smedley's Peas.
Yes, that's my husband's car.
He had a model made.
When I first met Peter,
he was driving this.
And he'd had aeroplanes in Rhodesia,
which is where I come from.
And my father had had airplanes
in Rhodesia,
so we suddenly had an
awful lot to talk about.
And he said,
"Would you like to drive it?"
So I said, "I would -
that would be fun."
That was not a car for driving -
that was a car for owning.
It was a car for pulling birds,
I think!
It clearly worked! And I think
he was quite successful at it!
'You walk around the house,
'marvellous things
collected over the years,
'and a wine cellar
that I would kill for,
'and you think, you know,
"They've got it all." '
You're up. Let me get you on the go
and then I'll take...
'You can meet Peter and think,
"Well, you're struggling a bit,
but you've obviously got money,
' "so why would you think
of assisted dying?" '
Oh, sorry.
I'll take you to the wall.
Lovely. Rather large.
They're generous in their portions.
They are.
I did fall over a week or two,
a few weeks ago,
and I found I couldn't
even get off the floor.
I'm looking for that point
in time
where I really can't risk
leaving it any longer.
And that's
my deciding factor, really.
You seem to be taking this
very calmly, and YOU seem
to be taking it very calmly.
If we start being emotional, we both
fall apart. We work quite hard
at keeping a good front.
I don't think
we're terribly strong.
I think
we're quite vulnerable underneath.
And if we go there,
and Peter says, "Actually,
I really don't want to do this,"
that's fine, we'll come home again.
Yes. Yes.
SIGHING:
Oh, hold on. I would be
in your chair, I must confess.
OK. Here's your stick.
Thank you.
Now, if I can turn round as well,
that would be splendid.
Terry, it's been a real joy
meeting you.
It's been an education
to meet you, sir.
And the same applies to you, madam.
Lovely to meet you. And I will give
you a little kiss.
In the French manner
or the English? Oh...!
Let's keep going -
there's a lot of Europe! Yes.
