Made the move a few years back, as did my now OH and we look back rarely, now in Somerset, we definitely miss the diversity and the ease of social life, but that is it. We would not be able to afford anything in London / surrounding, we would not have the ease of life and we would worry more about bringing up our little human. Commuting here is quite country lanes, or across the quantocks, I can see sub 5 cars over 15 miles. I could not go back to city death cycling.
