I’m just catching up with some of your older posts. I wonder how your thinking on this has developed. Where are you thinking about now?

I agree about roots. I was born and brought up in the same house. My mum still lives there. I would love that for my children, but it’s too late already. I guess moving around has advantages – makes them flexible, broadens their horizons. But I’d love to settle.

Wow, congratulations on selling your house so fast! I really hope you find somewhere perfect to move to soon. We found the perfect house up in Herts last week and are now facing the prospect of moving in three weeks (hindered enormously by the Bear who ADORES unpacking recently packed boxes).
Good luck with laying your roots x

Congrats on selling the house. We did too! I have found a new house (near my old one, but with more space and a driveway – the small things in life make a big difference).
Don’t worry too much about finding the perfect place to bring up your child, I am not sure such a thing exists. I am sure you will find the perfect place, and you will just know…You best start looking!! Good luck xxx
ps – the way we did it was to think, we don’t HAVE to move, just because we have an offer in on the house, and it took the pressure off, knowing that if we changed our minds, all it cost us was the price of the HIP pack…
pps – I ALWAYS get holiday blues, and miss my husband when he goes back to work, and now the eldest child when she goes back to school…

Just found you via London Zest, happy to find you. I always have mixed feelings coming home from holiday, but this year we decided to make the move abroad and it should happen by the close of summer — the stress of it all is making me wish we were just moving to Cornwall….hard choices ahead. Will back for more, great blog

I know what you mean. I’m trying to get some roots going here, and now my husband is talking about moving away. It’s all very difficult, I find. Especially because I’m the one who’s here most of the time, while he has his “roots” at work. (And he’s not considering changing companies.)

Little Venice looks really nice but those barges are kind of cramped and probably damp too!

It’s only normal to feel this way. I like to say ‘things happen for a reason”,like why your home already has an offer. The answer will come to you, about where to have your ‘roots’. Good luck.

Getting an offer in this market is good news although I can understand your trepidation. Do you have a list of possible places? Is it time to call Kirstie and Phil?
