About My wife and I are both retired teachers and living on the edge of Portsmouth. I am 61 and my wife recently turned 60. We have 3 grown up children who are currently living and working in Wellington, New Zealand. We are both keen golfers with membership at a local golf course. We enjoy travelling and often have city breaks around Europe. We also own a caravan, which is stored in Spain, which we try and visit at least twice a year to enjoy the beach and the Spanish culture. We enjoy going into Southsea (a district of Portsmouth) for walks along the promenade and the many restaurants and bars there.
