i think we are done here. by here i mean vancouver. even if we don't/can't have a kid and decide england is not for us i think we are ready to move on to somewhere new. of course i have no idea where to and what we would do once we got there but that didn't stop us before.
i would ideally like to return to england though. my only issue is that i have no idea where we would live. neither of us have any home-town ties so the whole country is open to us. i'm not even sure where to start. brighton is the one option we have considered so far. however it's expensive and the return commute to london would be about 3 hours a day for the cg. he could live with that if he had to but i'd like him to get home at night before the kids go to bed! the north of england is a cheaper option and i love the old stone houses there but the cg has a weird distrust of the north and it might be harder for him to find work. the south is more expensive but he could commute to london from somewhere (but who knows where) and do i want to be a commuter widow. there's also a town versus country issue. there are some beautiful villages in england but could i hack a village life. for more than a decade i've lived in a city and i'm used to walking out of my door and there being shops and bars and restaurants just waiting for me. on the other hand we could have a beautiful home in a little village with views of rolling hills and local pubs and a nice little school for the kids.
what i know is that i want something else. i'm just a bit hazy on the details of what that something is.
