Sounds like a remarkable lady. She has some very kind words to say about Liverpool and it's people as well -

"With Rafa’s job we have moved from place to place and you never feel you belong. Even if we did move back to Spain our friends have their own lives, they live in different places.

“Agata was a baby when we came here and to them, this is home. They never say ‘I’m Spanish’, they say are English, they are from Liverpool. Theirs – and our – best friends are here now.

“I have been to all sorts of places all over the world, and there is nowhere like this. The people are so warm, they are easy to approach. Liverpool people have a talent to make you feel like you belong to the big family, it’s brilliant, and I don’t think that’s because of Rafa. It’s normal to them.

“They try to help you and, even if they don’t know you, there’s always a hand held out. Last year when we had the snow people were going to the supermarket for the older people or those who were stuck, getting mail and fetching pensions – that’s something you can’t find now in many places. Maybe because Liverpool has been through so many problems and come back, it’s in its genes, everybody works together.”
