It's kinda funny. Having lived in England for a few year, I quickly noticed that the perception of distance there is much different that it is here. I think it is changing, slowly, but it will probably always be different.

Here, especially in the "wild, wild, west", we don't think anything of traveling 100 miles or more for something. Part of it is probably the cost of fuel, but that's not all of it.

The other thing that will happen over time is that you will make Cornwall friends! You were starting down that road while you were DBing. You will meet people in connection with activities with your child(ren!!!!). They might be younger, but you will certainly have common interests.
