Nervous mum moving from Dubai to Shere!

[Sjrobins]

Looking for a network of helpful mums to help guide me on any local mums groups or ‘good to know’ information on the area of Guildford, specifically Shere where I will moving to in March! Having lived in Dubai for 9 years I’m pretty clueless and having visited the village last week I didn’t see anyone my age...(I’m 33) I’m moving with family so hoping to make some mummy friends!x

Not a Shere resident, but know the area well. I think perhaps in the Winter it is quite quiet. Summer on the other hand is heaving, as Shere attracts a lot of tourists and day trippers. Shere infants is a really sweet village school, and hidden behind the church is an outdoor pool for the village use only, and in the Summer this is a lovely village facility. Lots and lots of children use it, so yes, there are definitely families and children in and around the village. Obviously a very different location than Dubai, but I hope it all goes well for your move.

Hi - you might be interested in joining AWBS international women’s club. Lots of ladies who have lived abroad and repatriated as well as expats. Lots of activities to join in.

Hi Sj

I tried to post this yesterday but I think it's vanished...?!

How is shere? It's on our shortlist of where to move next. I've got a 15 month old so I want somewhere with a lively community that's good for babies!!

How are you finding it??
