Me, my DH and young DD are due to move from London to Bath this summer. It's been a long planned move - mainly for partner's job - and people keep telling us how lucky we are to be moving to such a beautiful place. So far, so good. BUT, the last time we visited, I suddenly found myself getting cold feet. The traffic was awful, which didn't help. But I also started to think that maybe it's a bit stuffy for us. I'm far from bohemian, but I do like a bit of edge - and Bath seems very rugby, very tory, which we're definitely not. Lots of men walking around in those rust coloured chinos, with quilted green jackets (no offence to owners of these :) I know it doesn't matter one jot what people wear, but it's an indication of a mindset maybe.... and we are very much Guardian R4 types rather than telegraph reading conservatives. Horribly blunt generalising I know but hopefully this paints the picture. I'm panicking... I don't want to feel isolated and we won't know anyone locally, so being able to meet people is very, very important to us. Where do all the people like us live and hang out? We are looking at Bathampton and Larkhall as places to live but again, we're not totally convinced. Should we be going to Bristol??!! Can anyone give any sage advice or personal insight? Thank you.
