I lost my mom last year and have no remaining family left except my husband and children. For about 15 years I have wanted to move out of Birmingham and the Weat Country has always had a special place in my heart but it is a big move for me as I have never lived anywhere else than Birmingham.
I don't particularly like Birmingham as I would love to be nearer the coast and I think it would be better for my children but I'm scared if I moved I wouldn't like it and I would have no where to go back(very special family home for 3 generations).
I have no family ties and not really any real friends and this does get me down and I wonder if moving away will be the making of us all and after the year I have had I feel I need a fresh start.
My husband says he would move but I get the feeling he is not as interested as me as he doesn't look for work in that area even though he says he is unhappy with his current job, he has given a timescale of about 2-3 years which I would be happy with if I thought it was going to happen, I just feel he is happy to plod along but I am not.
Could people who live in the West Country tell me what it is like to live and for people living in Birmingham, do you like it? Another place I considered living was the Isle of Wight but maybe West Country( particularly Devon) was more realistic.
