Pete and Heather, both 34, were housemates and developed a firm friendship before their flirtations led them to becoming a couple. They live in Bristol with their dog, Jam Jam
After becoming burnt out by life in London, Heather made the decision to move to Bristol in 2017. “I wanted more green space and the chance to cycle more. I was ready for a change,” she says. She was hoping to move in with a former colleague, Lucy, but the room had already been taken. “She told me her ex-boyfriend was moving to Bristol around the same time as me and that we would really get on.”
Lucy introduced Heather to Pete via text, and they decided to find a place to rent together. “I had been travelling, then gone back to Dublin, where I’m from, but I wanted to return to the UK,” he says.
