.... re-posting as I put the cities the wrong way round in the title of the last thread.... mortifying....
Hi all,
Happy election day!
I'm 29 and about to start training at a law firm in London. They have an office in Manchester, and there are other big law firms there. I have lived in London since uni and really love it - but DP and I would only ever be able to afford a tiny flat here and we both want to have children (in a few years when I am qualified etc etc) so we are talking about moving to Manchester when my training contract finishes (at which point I'll be 32 / 33).
Have you moved from London to Manchester and if so what do you like about it? I'm a bit nervous about potentially moving to a new city where I don't know anyone, but I know that it's necessary in order to be able to fulfil my dream of having children and a garden. I also feel like there are lots of fun things about Manchester - beautiful surrounding countryside, good live music scene etc. We both like long-distance walking, live music, the arts, etc etc etc.... However I am a bit nervous about having no mates, and the fact that it apparently rains all the time...
AIBU to ask you to please let me know if you or any friends have moved from London to Mighty Manchester and loved it? What do you like about Manchester?
Thank you!
