Neville has retired having worked 40 years in the airline industry and he informs me he has flown 14 million miles, I am a painter and we moved into the town from the country 5 years ago, we love it here, having always lived in Dorset we consider it one of the best the south coast has to offer.we love to eat so the endless restaurants cafes delis and pubs in the area are just to our liking.we like to amble about never wanting to run a marathon or swim the Chanel we love films and there is a great little restored theatre in Christchurch, Neville helps out at the museum as front of house I teach a bit of art mostly water colour, we spend a great deal of time with our granddaughter who is hoping to be an actor she is of course in our opinion the most gifted person whom we’ve ever met. (Well we would say that) we’ve travelled the world and now would like to see a-bit of England which is why I am joining this group.
