I'm from the area and don't think that's an unusual thing to say, it's just a colloquialism, like the 'talking broken biscuits' thing. It sounds like something an old person from Dorset would say.
That article says she's a local cook though - thought she was a terminally ill recluse?
Maybe it is just a colloquialism, not one I've heard very much up north. In statement analysis they work on the premise that bits of the truth are coming through the word choices though....so together with the 'falling back' or 'slumping' I think she said, it seems an interesting choice to me. Just my observation.
