    Great news on new job and glad it is going well. I grew up in Surrey and flying kites and picnics on Box Hill was one of our regular family trips out at weekends and bank holidays. My mum and brother still live in Surrey so we go up there on holiday lots. We moved down to Cornwall in late eighties due to not liking London for work and high house prices. That I think is still an issue although it is doable further out in commuter belt land. Is your OH working or applying for jobs?

  • Hope all is going well. So much change can be great but unsettling. I hope you are adapting well.
