What do you love about where you live?
I came to Belfast in 1966 when I was 16 and apart from a few years when I lived in a nearby village I’ve always lived here.
To say we’ve had our problems in Belfast is an understatement but due to the resilience of the people who live here we got through it. It’s not perfect even now but what city is?
We have the sea within a mile from where I live. We have mountains, beautiful coastlines close by. The city has been regenerated and there are lots of restaurants. Thirty in a 2 mile radius from my front door.
Our educational standards are high with a well educated workforce and one of our universities is the prestigious Queen’s university.
And there’s the people, hard working, down to earth ( well most of them) and with a great sense of humour.
We have great hospitals with medical staff from many countries. I’m lucky at my age to live close to one.
And finally I also have the Stormont estate at the top of my road, home to the on/ off Northern Ireland assembly. Don’t ask lol. A beautiful place to walk with an excellent play park for children.
What’s not to like living here?
