Hi all,
New to this Northern Ireland / Belfast group.
However, I've been a member of this Expat firm for a number of years now as I'm a Multiple Expat; having been born in Australia. Aged 40 my family relocated to live in USA following hubby's Company transferring him and his job internally! 14.1/2 years later in Feb, 2015 as Empty Nesters we chose to relocate to live in UK. First 12 months was spent living in Cardiff, Wales; whilst these past 9 months have been spent I living in Reading, England. Now we are contemplating our next destination and have been considering Belfast?
So for those who live in Belfast; does it rain as much as it did during our stay in Wales; as I swear it must have rained there daily? So much so I felt like I was going moldy! Yet the locals were welcoming and very friendly! I'm Thinking the people nod weather of Belfast would be similar to Wales; Please enlighten me??
So wanting to live where it's a buzzing, vibrant area but yet it must be within a safe neighborhood too. Not a SML, quaint & quiet community. Houses or Apartments - either will be ok so long as it's 3 bed with -views.
As we'd Like to live where we can enjoy uninterrupted water views over a expansive body of water filled with a constant flow of boating activity (Ships sailing past would be a bonus as too would be some Birdlife.
Close to Trains and Buses a bonus. Commutable into Belfast for hubby's work. What areas fit the above??
But most of all; I'm planning to launch a quality Domestic Cleaning, Ironing & Housework Business and therefore; would like to learn if Northern Ireland / Belfast is a visible area with a demand / requirement for such a Business? Main targeted client would be households with both partners working and the elderly residents who'd both appreciate the opportunity to Out-sauce their household chores to free up their time!
Your honest thoughts would be appreciated on both topics?? Thanks In Advance.
