So it's amazing what you can achieve in a morning. By 2pm today we were sitting on sunny Crantock beach having driven from Lewes to Cornwall, visited 4 schools and a nursery and had a picnic. Admittedly we did get up at 3:45 this morning.
Basically, on Wednesday, I suddenly decided that I wanted Mark and the kids to see the schools, realising I couldn't make the final decision all on my own. I am so glad I did, the kids loved the schools and I was reminded just how good (and how creativE) the schools down here are. Mark agreed with me on most decisions but pointed out a few things I had missed and we all feel 1 step closer to our new life. It's weird being here on holiday for a week knowing that we are coming to live here but has been good seeing some of what a real life here will be like as we watched our kids getting to know the teachers and children and running around in the playgrounds of their future schools. The kids seem to be so relaxed about the whole thing. I have a feeling they will settle in much quicker than their parents.
And another thing we've remembered. It gets dark about half an hour later here. Bonus.
In the meantime, I am still struggling with photos and editing this post - maybe I should do an IT course when I move down here, however the good new is that I am posting this on the correct date, although I am incredibly tired so apologies in advance.
