moving to/from London

Last year my Daughter moved from Newcastle to London.

She just bought an apartment for 3 x the money it would have cost in Newcastle. She drives a nice sports car but now plans to sell it as "there are few roads without restrictions and they are usually very crowded, so its not really worth keeping".....so you could focus on the negatives

Instead she and her husband get around mainly on public transport and thoroughly enjoy other activities like theatres, museums, restaurants, music etc.

The point is, if you live in Wales you have to enjoy the good things life there has to offer like driving along quiet country lanes, hiking in the countryside and other typical country pursuits. If Wales is anything like the North East there are plenty of lovely places to live and nice yet affordable houses to buy and of course plenty of areas to avoid, so you do need to engage some local knowledge.
