My mum was born in Plymouth in 1948. When she left school, she started work in an office in Plymouth. Later, the company sent her to a different office in Bristol, where she met my dad. They fell in love, and they got married in 1970. They had three children - I'm the youngest.
They moved back to Plymouth again when my dad retired. They bought a very nice house and they've lived there for two years now. My dad has just put a greenhouse in the garden for growing vegetables - he's been a keen gardener all his life. My parents have made a lot of new friends and they're very happy in their new home.
