"Today, I live with my husband Neil just outside Cambridge.

We are enjoying our life together, finding joy in the small things, and looking forward to what the future holds.

We have plans to move to North Devon, where we hope to enjoy a peaceful retirement by the sea. It feels like the right ending to a life that has been full of twists and turns, ups and downs.

We will continue our travelling and exploring the world.

I look forward to the final chapters of our story, which together we are still writing."
