Sophie according to Digby
Sofie is a hard working, determined and an incredible person, she can be very organised (if she wants to be) ..... but at home some times she can throw so many clothes through the room it looks like a bomb has gone off. If she gets an idea in her head she will follow through until she reaches her goal. I think the hardest thing for Sofie will be one year without all her clothes and no not shopping in Topshop. I think Sofie is most looking forward to being in Tahiti on the beach in a typical Tahitian outfit. I can't imagine any one else I would rather share this experience with.
Us:
We have been together as a couple for 3 years, but met each other when we just 14 years old in spain, during summer's holidays. Ever summer we would meet again on the beach. However 3 years ago Digby decided after Sophie left he missed her so much he hitched a lift to France then took a train and surprised Sophie in her home town. We have been together ever since and have never been apart for more than 3 weeks, and have lived together for two years.
