I must admit the couple of hours drive my eldest daughter lives away has never really felt much of an issue until now.
The pandemic has completely changed how we do things though. Obviously during lockdown any travel is essential only. However outside of lockdown the practicalities of two under fives and journeys and staying overnight are complex.
Coincidentally my son in laws family all live locally to me! In the past I know they had both considered moving into the area. My son works in the city but its commutable. I think initially they felt they would also miss access to London and all that has to offer. Of course all of that has changed. My son in law is working from home indefinitely and accessing a large city is not so appealing.
Once the initial health concerns are over,or vastly reduced it will be interesting to see how our priorities change. I have been lucky enough to be able to do some travelling over the past four years. I must admit I was bemused by the rush to book holidays this summer. Obviously being in a vulnerable group affected my outlook but for me a socially distanced holiday didnt appeal!
