Do you need to get around or will you be working from home?
Both.
I could commute weekly from Scotland and just stay in hotels. It's still an option. But TBH I've been doing that for the last 6 months while covering the current position and this other one on a part time basis and it's not terribly efficient.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

And will you want to be able to get back to Scotland easily? ie to visit family?
I'll still need to pop up to Scotland periodically for work so near-ish to an airport with good flight connections is handy.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

You're welcome to it - we've had that up here (and hail/sleet/snow) the last couple of days. Nice and sunny now, for a change.0 -

Definitely - my lawns really need mowing but just when they've started to get dry enough, down comes the wet stuff again. Granted the lawns aren't anything special, but I don't really want them looking like a hay meadow0 -
WE had a really good grass cutting day a couple of weeks ago, DW cut half the grass then cut the wire
I fixed the wire, DW* got the cutter out this afternoon...and it started to rain.
* Once the tree pollen season is over I will cut the grass but at the moment I am a snivelling wreck if I as much as look out of the window.I think....0
