Quick introduction as I’ve just been authorised!  
My name is Ben, I live in the south west and have been practicing Wing Chun for around 6 months.  
I did go to classes for a couple of months but then financial commitments got in the way, along with travel and other boring life tasks!  
Since then I’ve been performing Sim Lin Tao every day, usually in the evening but sometimes morning too. I also do some squats to strengthen my legs. Whenever I can find a partner I do practice some of the moves I learned in class, otherwise I practice as best I can on my own.

TLDR:  
I have been doing Wing Chun for 6 months, mostly on my own, would like to find someone local to practice with!

He did say the south west, you know where that is, right?? 🙂

Welcome to the fray, Ben! Little more information and I’m sure you can find someone in your local to exchange hands with.
