Dramatis Personae
There ought to be some kind of introduction.
The majority of posting will be from me, Richard. Over time, I'll probably reveal more of myself and explain some things, but for now, the bare details. I was born in 1962, so am past the dreaded 40th - although, as I shall explain, I don't think age has all that much to do with this decision to move - and ready for new challenges. I have worked for the same Italian firm since 1989; originally in Scotland, but in southern England, just northwest of London, since the summer of 1990. More will become clear as we go along.
Zoë has been my wife since 1986, and we knew each other for at least 5 years before that. This makes us kind of unusual these days; at least that's how it seems to me. I'm hoping she will want to post some stuff on here one day, but she's not one of the world's natural bloggers. Zoë is a Speech and Language Therapist - that's kind of relevant to the whole story.
Our boys will generally be known as No.1 son and No.2 son - they were born in 1997 and 2000 respectively. I'm not putting any more detail about them than is necessary to tell our story. Eventually, I guess they may want to expand on things, but for now, let's keep them pricvate, shall we?
We also have 2 cats. Their main purpose in this narrative is to bring dead animals into the house at inconvenient times, and to cost money. Ah, not fair; we love them really.
