We're currently discussing the possibility of DH applying for a job in Orkney. I am a SAHM and we have two DS, a toddler and a new baby. I am a London girl originally but we've lived for the past few years in a medium sized northern city, which I love. I can see that there would be many advantages to living in Orkney (fresh air, low crime, great schools etc). However I'm concerned that I would go stir-crazy living somewhere so isolated and with such a small population. Is anyone familiar with Orkney? Is it somewhere where you would want to live? Would my boys grow up to be "country bumpkins" living there? Is there plenty to do if you're not a very outdoorsy type, like me? Any advice greatly appreciated.
