The couple are vintage enthusiasts and have a vintage caravan they call Tilly.
Linda added: "The same time I bought Tilly, I bought this 1960s pink bathroom suite and it cost me £1 which I thought was a great result.
"When we got it home, Andrew said ‘Linda, there is no way that’s going in the house! A. It’s too big and B. It’s too heavy.’”
"I didn’t want to throw this bath away and it’s sat in our garden for ages. One day I thought ‘Wouldn’t it be great if we had a kind of camping in our garden experience and have a bathhouse’."
PEACEFUL PLACE
Angel and Dick loved the idea but their smiling faces soon turned to sad ones as Linda revealed her personal heartbreak.
Her voice cracking with emotion, Linda said: "In 2016 I sadly lost my only daughter… sorry...I lost Nicola.
“I escape down into the garden, it’s a place where I can go and be at one with myself and with nature really. And I think of my girl.”
An emotional Angel immediately leapt up from her seat and said: “Hang on, let me get a tissue.”

As she rejoined Dick, she took his hand and he said: “She wants somewhere to go and just remember.”
She replied: "She wants somewhere very peaceful.”
In the end, Angel and Dick were able to help Linda and Andrew achieve their goal and said: "They are really going to enjoy that. Genuine peacefulness and it was lovely.”
