All that stuff about houses, space in the country, fresh air and no crime -- well it's nice in theory, but we've decided that we can't drag ourselves away from London ..just yet.
There's just too much uncertainly in the money markets at the moment and why would we put ourselves under unnecessary professional and financial pressure? A move 90 miles from the city does present logistical challenges, threats and compromises. It's just not worth it.
Right now, we're comfortably ahead. We're professionally and financially secure and we have a lovely home with more than enough room for two adults and a medium-sized dog. Guest do have to bunk-up on a pull-out in the rear living room, but that's no real hardship for one or two nights..
Oh, and I know that I whine on about the incessant grime and fairly frequent crime, but we do have an awful lot of good things in old Stokie too.
For the time being -- at least -- we're staying put.
..And so the story, erm, stalls
