I am sure you will move, go for it, life changing experience and all that. You can take lots of advice, ignore the negative, thats the best way. Take a chance! thats what I say. It may be a bit daunting to begin with, but most people get through. Your children will be the ones who most appreciate it.
When you picking your kids up from school, then going to have a coke at the Cafe before you go home, to change to go for a swim...... Ahhhhh who needs UK!
