| Introduction | I've known my partner Jenny for over 44 years. Now retired, I was previously a journalist, bookseller, charity worker and office administrator. I enjoy the company of my partner and friends but I'm not a wild socialiser. I love walking in the country and just quietly reflecting on life. Disillusioned with living in London, Jenny and I moved to Belfast in 2000. We're still in Belfast and we think it's a fabulous city. |
