Moving to another county so far away has its problems. We had to make a few trips from Wales to Devon when we moved here, which didn't really matter as our daughter was in Devon, so stayed with her. There was one time when my husband came down on his own to view a 'possible', only to be told by the agent when he arrived that it had been sold. My husband wasn't impressed and told the agent what he thought of him. Happy days! Hope your move goes well.
