I quite often joke that I would move abroad to have kids, but sometimes I really do think that's something I would seriously consider if I were logistically able to do it.
I was fortunate to live in Buckinghamshire and go to a good grammar school (yes, I am very much pro grammar schools...), but the nightmares parents have to go through to get their kids into decent secondary schools these days is terrifying. Your eldest must be what, 3 years away from that now? Is that right?
Maybe some kind of miracle school reform will have happened by then?!
