I love to think that men were actually like that once – that they had to ask for your dad's permission to go out, not just invite you to Nando's or something. It's really gorgeous, the water is clear and I just liked how life seemed like it was so much easier there. There have been times when I've turned up looking like a bit of a dog's dinner but everyone's still nice and polite.
