In truth I don't really know what I'm looking for people to say... As a family we've always had a strong connection with Wales as my great grandmother was Welsh, my uncle got evacuated there during the war, moved back home when it was safe and then very quickly moved back to Wales, he still lives there now in his old age.

Nearly all my family doesn't like it where we currently live however my family will stay due to various reasons. However if things were different I have no doubt the would all go. I feel it's best for me and my life in general to move somewhere I have always loved and every time I'm there I have this imence feeling that this is my real home, where I want to be and grow old myself. It would be a new start and exciting adventure and hopefully something good, which without getting into specifics and boring you all, is something needed! It's around 4 hours drive to the Bridgend area, I'm looking around anywhere from Port Talbot to Newport really.

I'm a gardener by trade although I would be more than happy with most horticulture/green fingered work. I'm a big metal fan and motorcycle enthusiast.

I guess I'm just looking for some outside input, work wise, living wise, general feeling of people living there. How does someone, that knows only what I've just said about me, think, pros, cons. Maybe something I haven't thought of.

My mother is quite torn up about it as we are so close, she knows deep down it's the best thing although it's almost like she needs something to help her along, she'll never be alright with it but I would love to put her a bit more at ease with first hand, real people's thoughts.

As always, I appreciate any help!
