DH has got a possibility of a job in Penrith. I am terrified that he will get the move and then we will have to go without having seen it first. It's too far to travel there to see it before he has to make the decision.
We are currently in South London and I think we would like to move somewhere a bit cheaper to buy a house, and ideally a greener environment for the children to grow up.
Having said that, it feels like a very radical change moving from one of the most populated areas in the country to one of the sparsest. There is so much to do in London and all the museums/culture on the doorstep.
Has anyone either lived there or visited and have any tips on what it is like, particularly for parents and children, and general advice about locations?
All I know is the bit I have dredged from the internet over the past two days, but there really isn't much info. It looks very nice from what I have seen.
So grateful if anyone has any info/opinion at all.
