What would be your thoughts about a single mother who didn't know anyone in the area and couldn't drive moving to Frome? Is it a nice area..? Easy to meet people?

Where do you live now?

I wouldn't recommend anyone moves to the country if they can't drive.

I live in Bristol now but I'm living in a shared house and I don't really want to be here and about to have 2 kids and I have the option of living in a lovely 2 bed with a really nice garden in Frome.

Frome is nice, quite a lot going on, a bit run down in parts. Not sure what schools are like though

Your own place with a garden is always going to be better than a shared house, regardless of where it is. Especially if you have children.

Frome is lovely and if you have young kids you will make friends via baby and toddler groups/ pre schools etc. Go for it.

A house with a garden will be so much nicer than a shared house and Frome is a nice town with lots going on.

You will make friends as your children get older and go to school wherever you live.
I’d be checking out the schools, how do they compare to the schools your children could go to in Bristol?
Do you have lots of friends in Bristol and an active social life? If so think hard about giving that up. Also when your children get older will they be able to get around, what’s the public transport like?
Being on your own you don’t want to feel isolated so it really depends how attached to Bristol you are.

I'm not attached to Bristol and don't have a massively active social life although I do know lots of people but I would like to move and this is a possible option so I wondered what people thought.
