A brief history and explanation: I have spent most of my adult life outside the UK, including Corfu, Athens and many many years in Milan, a city I love and still feel is a second home, but moved back to England for four years to sit in the pub. I have now seen sense once again and so have settled in a picturesque little place in Portugal called Coimbra, which I like very much. My home town is still Nottingham, however, which is where my siblings and their offspring still live.
