'Self-confessed 'artist-type' Steve Andrews is 62 and partner Melissa Houghton is 32, but it's not the age gap that's causing them problems - it's visa restrictions.'
'Writing about their plight, the Bard of Ely said: “Our age difference causes no problems, but our nationalities do.
'“I couldn’t believe my luck when I found out that despite the fact that I was twice her age and a starving artist-type, Melissa was as attracted to me as I was to her.”
'The couple met and fell in love in Tenerife where Steve had been for nine years. Melissa, who was born in Korea but adopted by American parents, was touring Europe and moved into Steve’s apartment in San Marcos.
'Steve said: “Sadly though, the course of transatlantic love was not set to run at all smoothly. Melissa had a tourist visa and this only allowed her to stay in the Canary Islands until the beginning of May. The UK was a logical choice, as she could stay six months on a tourist visa.”'
