Looks like there might be a move on back to the smoke after 5 years exile in Cornwall. Wahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Pushing for SE - for all the right reasons - "rents are pretty good around the Charlton area" - except I say south east as saying "Charlton" would give the game away. Looking at moving maybe summer. Big upheaval - and partner is a chronic organiser - I'd be more likely to just pack up a van and go, but we have to have jobs and the right house (she doesn't want to live in a flat) and we have to be near a park..."south London's full of parks - you can't move for 'em!" She's only ever been to London with me on visits so more of an upheaval for her.

yeah i know, its like a bloody epidemic! trees, grass, the whole shebang.
Blimey, if she's from down there I'm not sure how much difference Charlton Park will make in easing the transition!
It almost killed me when I had to do that from France.
Have a lay down, get up and have a look at the beach and the sea and hopefully you'll see sense!
Younger members of my family have done the reverse and love it so I do think age is a factor as well.
Whatever, wish you both all the best in job and househunting and hope the move works out.
It's God's own country down here in Cornwall, me loverrrrrrr ....... except finding well paid work can be a challenge.
I've been down here for 27 years and I love the quality of life. I've never even thought of going back to Kent.
A job where you don't have to wait for your manager to die before you can take a step up the ladder,
Having something else to do in the evening other than tv or pub,
Feeling as though I am living in the 1950s
Just miss city living - after 25 years of London and 5 years of Cornwall still never really felt this country life was me - even though I was brought up in the wilds of Lincolnshire.
My missus spent the first 35 years of her life in Coventry, so anywhere seems like Wonderland after that.
And, by no means least - the chance to see my beloved Addicks without having to spend £100 a night on a hotel and drive 5 hrs each way!
You're all making me nervous now!
Wev'e never been happier now wer'e back in SE London.
However leaving SE London when I did is not one of them.
What will your mrs do when she tries to speak to someone in the queue for the Post Office and they look at her if she has come off a different planet!
The only thing I don't like is on a Saturday I cant get to the Valley and back in the day,although Ive heard a rumour this is to change soon.
I would think very hard and long before even considering it!
Sounds to me like you have somoe pretty sound reasons for wantingto move back to London.
London wins.
How was his journey all those years ago?!
