I only wish I knew. We currently live in the West Midlands near DS, DiL and two GC, aged 11 and 13. Our DD, SiL and the other two GC aged 3 and 5, live south of Reading, which is near home turf for me. We are currently trying to move to the New Forest area, something we always said we would do, but this will mean leaving DS and family. We don't actually see much of them as they are always busy and, in any case, are planning a move themselves about 20 miles further away, but I would miss them. On the plus side DS thinks nothing of driving miles so I am sure they would come and see us in Hampshire. DH is keen to move south, as am I, and it would be nice to be nearer the other two DGC, but it is a hard decision. What would others do?
Sorry, did not mean to hijack the thread. The answer is the New Forest - beautiful scenery, near the coast, good communications and not too far from DD and family.
