We currently live in a great house, in the small ex mining town where both my partner and myself grew up.
For a while we have been looking at properties in smaller villages near by, but my urge to move to a 'pretty' village is getting greater! We have spent a couple of holidays in beautiful locations and driving home my heart sinks when I enter our town.
It could also be because a few weeks ago somebody got murdered in one of the local pubs by a drunken idiot starting trouble. I just thought where on earth are we bringing up our children.
I have a village in mind and we've always said how nice it is, but can we make the move away from family and friends? We would also get less property for our money.
Its approx 15 minutes from where we currently live.
The transport links are great (A1 close by) and my CM business is very transportable and as far as I can see there is no childminder in this location, it may take a while to build up but it did in the town I have lived in practically all my life!
Is village life all it's cracked up to be?
We have two DC's 7 (Year2) & 3 (FS1) so they'd have to cope with a change of school.
Can anyone share their experiences positive or negative about moving from their home town / rough area to a nicer place and leaving all their family behind.
