This was a long time ago but we moved from city to country when I was 15 for my father's job. It was pretty much the same deal as you, house was owned by the company and they paid very little to rent it. It took a LONG time for my family to adjust but we did move to a very remote area where the nearest shop was a 30 min drive. My mum is a teacher and found it difficult to get work but we did move at the time when primary schools were being closed and teachers were offered 'packages'. My brother and sister were in primary school so it was a little easier for them. I missed things like being able to jump on a train and go where ever I wanted to go and I couldn't have friends over after school becuase we lived so far away. I hated living here with a passion and always vowed I'd move back to the city but when I had kids of my own I realised this was a fantastic place to bring them up so I stayed. Now, almost 20 years later I absolutely love 'small town living' and would never go back to the city.
