Yes, we met in London last October. She lives in Leicester, UK. Aldous met her family in person at both his parent's house and Noel's parent's house during last Christmas holidays
Noel works as a contract admin at a warehouse similar to Amazon warehouses. She coordinates and handles shipping for her contract. She completed her Master's in Finance in the UK and is currently working there in extension to the study visa.
