lovely

um which is yeah which is it is lovely to have and and like you say i think you know so many people genuinely don't realize how beneficial it is for their mental health Yeah.

Do you know when I really understood it? During lockdown.

Right.

Oh, yeah.

Obviously, we're very lucky.

We had the farm.

And I don't think that's a good way to

What are we, A, what are we looking for, and B, which is the best

one in Britain? Well, it's all of the above, because everybody wants something different.

So if you go in and you want to have a proper sit-down meal, places like Cobham are really, really good, because you can actually have Pizza Express, Nando's, things like that, which are all, like, family favourites.

But then, if you go to a Gloucester Tea Bake-In, lots of places like that, you get home-cooked, fresh food, and actually, it's a family-run business.

So that family's been doing it for, as you can imagine...

Is it? Yeah, family-run business still.

That's cool.

They're all so busy, aren't they?

So what was Ellis Island like and how is Boris able to enter the United States?

Right.

With Boris, everything is a story.

And it's a story that he was able to tell many different ways.

But one of the fun parts about the book was when I was able to actually get some kind of documentation and not just have trusted story.

Ellis Island at the turn of the century was a fascinating place.

I actually visited Ellis Island for the first time.

First of all, what is an example of a piece of science or technology that the KGB wanted to know more about? And then who is a person that the FBI wanted Boris to dig up information on?

Mm.

Um, we'd been together for about 18 months prior to that.

Um, and kind of our, our whole sort of aspiration, I guess, of getting into the music industry and releasing our, our own music was sort of pinned onto the show, you know? It's kind of like our last resort, um, uh, um, opportunity and, and yeah, obviously getting through to the finals and being one of, I think 12...

Is it 12 contestants? Yeah, 12 contestants at the time.

Um, and yeah, I mean, it was obviously a great opportunity for us and, you know, it wasn't until that week, week six, I think it was, on the show, um, where we, we met, um, Chloe and obviously there were, there were dancers involved in the whole thing.

But that week, for whatever reason, they wanted to have, um, six blonde dancers, and Chloe was one of them.

And as she said, you know, we had a, a really good connection.

Yeah.
