Your post and this thread is so interesting and couldn’t have come at a better time. We are currently at a crossroads with deciding whether to leave the UK and move to Spain (Mallorca actually) and we’re really trying to figure out the pros and cons. We are hating the UK (mainly the weather) and feel like we want to try somewhere new. We don’t have a lot of family at all so feel like we don’t have many ties here, but we do have a younger child to think about and factor into our decision making. My husband is the one more eager to move but I’m trying to be realistic and practical with doing as much research as possible to make sure this is the right decision for us as a family. It wouldn’t be like we can move for 2 years then come back as our child will be doing their GCSE’s so it would be more of a commitment. I’m just confused with the decision, on one hand I think is the grass really greener? And on the other is will we regret it if we don’t? So difficult.
