Born and bred in Northern Ireland. 25 minutes outside Belfast.
Lived in the same town for my 46 years apart from a few years in Edinburgh (University, or College in US speak 🙂)
How is it? A much better place to live in now compared with the 70s to mid late 90s, during the sectarian conflicts. The weather sucks though! We don't have the harsh winters like in Buffalo but we rarely get any prolonged good dry sunny weather. Even a short hop across the pond to southern England seems to be much better weather wise.
