that's exactly what we ended up doing but in manchester and with kid a bit younger. i think London is a great place to raise a kid and they'll have many more opportunities. but it's not until you leave that you realise it's not the centre of the universe and that house prices are a bizarre self-perpetuating fiction

Sheffield is a great city.

Having praised Cardiff...
Was up in Sheffield yesterday to look at / agree to taking a rental place. Don’t have enough time to buy a place there before the deadline for school applications and would rather rent for a bit and get the kid into a decent school near where we want to live than prioritise the house and then end up with her at some school of unknown quality or proximity.
Going to see out Christmas down in London and then we’ll be in Sheffield at the beginning of the new year. It’s exciting and daunting in equal measure.
