    Shouldn't things like shopping and dining out options also be part of this decision process? Seems to me that Cambridge is a bit thin on that.

    We buy almost everything online and rarely eat out. So, no.

    Of course, the paucity of baseball nearby is a bit of a downside.

    You can watch the cricket on Parker's Piece in the summer. Is that close enough?

    Somewhat off topic, but we're having a great weekend. Spent yesterday picnicking with some of my wife's friends, really lovely group from all over the world. We went to a playground this morning and got talking to a French family who have just moved into the area, then went to a cafe that was mostly full of Italian families. Everyone was very friendly. I didn't think we'd settle here (too expensive, too few hills), but it's such a pleasantly cosmopolitan place to live that I doubt we'll ever leave. (Full disclosure: It's 10000x times easier for me to find a job here than anywhere else in the country).

    I'm really proud to be in the least brexity bit of Britain.
