Who are we?
Jon and Mary North - married 30 years, parents of three splendid sons and grandparents of two small children. Mary was a teacher (of English, music and 'careers' or preparation for work) and then trained and worked as a psychotherapist; Jon trained as a librarian and information worker, and spent most of his working life in the voluntary sector, developing links and partnerships with statutory (government) agencies in the East Midlands.
Now retired, we have more time for our interests - music (Jon sings and Mary plays the 'cello - we met on a recorder-playing summer school), wine (Jon's especial enthusiasm), knitting (Mary's), books and reading, languages and meeting and talking to people. We live in Lunel with Trudy the Norfolk terrier.
