Spring 2007

Having lived on the edge of Manchester very close to the Peak District for 14 years, the idea of being in the middle of nowhere and unable to work - in a country where I don’t yet speak the language and the people are reputed to be cold and unfriendly - fills me with terror.

However, we are looking forward to the move, with some trepidation, and I’m delighted when OH finds a lovely house, in a lovely village, mid way between Winterthur and Zurich and not far from the airport, which will be necessary for his job. Our landlady wants a long term tenant – good – and she’s thinking that in the long term she might sell the house. Even better, if we like living there.

We choose a small international school in Zurich for the first couple of years here, knowing that we will have to consider our options quite soon. OH and I both feel that living in Switzerland but being educated in English is sensible to start with for the boys, to help them get used to our new life.
