Nonna Romana, now a spry 92-year-old living comfortably in Bournemouth, retired at the age of 60, not because she had to, but simply because she had "not working" as a choice after a fulfilling life. She's been married for many years, a testament to enduring love, and is the matriarch of a bustling family that includes three children and seven beloved grandchildren.

Even in her early nineties, Nonna Romana's hands are rarely still. Her favourite activity is knitting, a skill she's perfected over the decades, creating countless blankets, scarves, and sweaters that have surely warmed her family through many a British winter. You can often find her in her favourite armchair, the rhythmic click-clack of her knitting needles a comforting sound in her home.

Her greatest aspiration isn't for exotic travels or grand adventures, but something far more precious: to have all her family near her. For Nonna Romana, true happiness is found in the laughter of her children and grandchildren filling her home. While she enjoys her knitting, her ultimate desire is simply to relax, to bask in the quiet moments of her golden years, surrounded by the love of her family. Her life in Bournemouth, filled with the simple joys of family and the meditative rhythm of her knitting, is a testament to a life well-lived and a heart full of love.
