A Winter Too Many1989

[now aged 60, Hannah's health is starting to fail and she is struggling to cope with the hard winters]

Barry Cockcroft:
Let's talk about the future. You know that a lot of your friends are worrying about you - they worry every winter - and they're rather hoping there'll be a major change.

Hannah Hauxwell:
Yes, the time will come. Perhaps pretty near. But it is a proper... a big upheaval, emotionally, physically, mentally. It's just as if my world was falling to pieces. Everything I've known and I'm sure of. Security, everything. I don't know how I'll leave here. Or how I'll feel after I *have* left. It's my world. And it's lovely - lovely scenes. [Hannah's eyes fill with tears] The moonlight on the water. I think it's one of the loveliest things. I stood and watched sometimes even when I was tired. In the winter time - I don't like the winter. It's marvellous. I'm very lucky to live in such a lovely place.
