Hello there,

I will try make this sweet and short. I am french living in London married to a South African man. We have lived in Cape Town for a year but came back for different reasons. However since we got back, we realized we don't want to stay in London for different (expensive, way of life, schools, commute ect.) and we can't go back to France. We are looking going back to Cape Town which would allow us to buy a house without a mortgage, I would work part-time (i could never do this here) and my hubby would keep his job working from home.
His family lives there and my parents as you can imagine are not happy... We would afford to spend xmas and holidays back in Europe as I want my son (2 years old) to be European/South African.

Not easy but I need to think about my family but I hate upsetting my parents especially my mum. They are also worried about security issues....

even though we are only a train ride away we dont seem them that much... and in CT he would have his granma, uncle, aunt and cousins. And he will be close to my parents...its hard but i know we are doing the right thing.

If you and your husband can continue to work and earn a good living in Cape Town I cannot think of a better place to bring up children. The security question is as ever a matter of taking sensible precautions. I am also sure your parents will get used to it and will enjoy coming over to the Cape during their winter.
