Life can be seriously challenging, and sometimes that means that we can go down the wrong path. When that happens, it can be hard to turn around and go back the other way, especially if it means admitting we were wrong.

Your decision to accept a job in a different city was a huge risk. You knew that there's no certainty that things will go as planned. You could end up hating your new job, or the new city isn't the perfect fit for you.
You should only buy a property once you're confident that you love your new job and city. Evaluate how you feel after moving and determine if it's a place you like. For some people, there's an instant connection. Others need to wait for a while. Suspend your judgement until you're confident that it's the right one.

-Philip St Lawrence writes about how Alfred helped him rediscover DEVON Since as a boy I saved my pocket money, all of thirty shillings to buy my beloved copy of H.E. Marshall’s 'Our Island Story', I have been fascinated by British history.
