Hi Talisman,

This is a new venture for his company and presently they have no permanent office. They are in the green community at the mo but will be possibly moving elsewhere after we arrive in August but he doesn't know where yet! I was hoping that 'that roundabout' on the Emirates Road would be finished by the time we get there and would be working beautifully with no congestion or queues!! That it the roundabout you are talking about isn't it?

We thought Ranches would be good as the children wouldn't have to travel so far to school, I didn't want them having nightmare journeys in traffic every day and Ranches seemed to solve that problem. What also helped was the fact that they has spaces for all but the youngest and we hope to get him in next year when he starts secondary school. We haven't been offered places yet so are not tied. Any other ideas of good schools and places to live where the kids won't have horrendous journeys? All comments welcome!
