XY had been all set to leave her husband back in November, but had suddenly changed her mind. We really couldn’t understand why.

Then she revealed to me in a ruined medieval castle that after her husband had comforted her following her car accident ‘one thing led to another’ and now she was pregnant with their third child.

She couldn’t possibly leave her husband now because this time the baby could be a boy. Nevertheless it was a daunting prospect to become a new mother at 51.
