Suburbs and growing older

Suburbs and growing older

“I’ve mostly lived in the , , corridor for 20 years and I really liked being part of the furniture of an area, and part of a community, not necessarily part of a lesbian community. Now I’ve moved in with my partner in Kings Heath, and it’s fine. It’s not the same as living in the neighbourhood where everyone knew me. I know who I know, the old hags from my era, but we’ve settled down into suburban life as you do when you grow up, I am remembering when I went to a bar in town and looked at all these young women and thought, ‘I don’t know any of them, I’m not particularly interested in talking to any of them, I’ve moved on, I’ve grown up’”. (laughter).
