Remember just over a year ago I proclaimed I was putting an end to my nomadic lifestyle, with a move to Sunderland. Well I kind of knew then that the North East wouldn't be my home for ever. I like the place and the people but it's just too darned remote. Despite making friends here, most of them live miles away. Getting anywhere in the country is a pain. Last summer we drove to a wedding in Essex and it took nine hours!

Yesterday I mentioned Karen's interview in Nottingham. Glad to say she did me proud and got the job! My tour of the country is finally over, having gone full-circle and ending in a return to my home county of Nottinghamshire.

Nottingham isn't the biggest or best city in the country; it's just another city. However, it's smack bang in the centre of the country, next to the M1 and 2 hours from London on the train. Not to mention close to family and life-long friends. It just makes more sense.

I'll try not to bore you too much with the whole saga of moving house, but it's bound to pop-up every now and then...
