I think moving here has got me out of a rut; stuck at home all day with three small kids, no job, hardly going out and seeing anybody. Here, I've had to make the effort to meet new people, as I've no family. Thing is, with much less amount of effort, I could have done it without moving thousands of miles. Easy to see that with hindsight!
I think the negative/realistic posts are valuable too, by the way!
