"Off the top of my head, I have so many memories of him, which I am so grateful for, but there was a wonderful lady called Kyria Evangelia (translates as Mrs. Evangelia) who lived in this house on the left here. And she was his housekeeper, caretaker; she looked after the house when he wasn't here and when he was. And she had a wonderful way of coming in, whatever was happening and just barging in and she said: 'I don't mind, I am just doing my work. It doesn´t matter if they are making love or taking drugs or they are naked. I just do my work.' And Leonard was endlessly patient and loving towards her and he said to me one day. He said: "Kyria Evangelia…what a trip."
