We've just completed a huge renovation on our house which is in an area I really like - close to a school I hope DS can get into next September & 5 minutes drive from my ILs & family who are great with childcare & we are very close to.
With another DC on the way I know I would be crazy to consider moving but this weekend was another news story about another random killing really close to us (5 minutes by car).
I dream of living somewhere with a sense of community which is pretty & safe. Does that exist or have I been watching too much Neighbours? We're in Essex but close to London - DH works from home but I working in London part time (2-3 days per week) so would need access to a train station.
