Migration trajectory and oral history of English speakers in the city of Pau ; Female British citizen, aged 52 at the time of the interview. She was born in Northern Ireland and her father worked for the Royal Ulster Constabulary. She details elements of growing up in Northern Ireland, during the Troubles, and speaks of the IRA, and the difficulties. She speaks of the difficulties related to religion, attending church, as well as growing up in an environment, in what she perceives today as being void of emotions, or discussion about the issues going on in Northern Ireland, and in particular, in Belfast, where she lived. Her entire schooling was done in Northern Ireland, until she went to university in Edinburgh, to become a Physical Education teacher. She met and married a Frenchman, and they had one child, a son. They moved to Pau, where her husband came from, but subsequently divorced. She details life as a single mother, raising her son, and the (moral and civic) education that she gave to him.
