Thank you for taking the time to reply, similar as our girls are grown up though one not finished uni in Portsmouth yet. My entire family live in Essex so it will be very difficult to leave and to leave our friends also. We both have jobs, my partner transferring, and my company have agreed to let me work remotely which is fantastic as after 24 years with the same company I wasn’t sure I could leave and find such a good job I enjoy in north Devon. I will check out all the local clubs and will enjoy making new friends just very daunting! Thank you again for your advice and sharing your own experience.
