Middle-aged and mortgaged - why we've made a new start in Holland in the middle of Brexit

[#Dobe~ClasSy!☠]

o you’ve got the coveted four day a week senior role, a devoted nanny and the grandparents practically on the doorstep. Oh and you’ve just thrown every last penny into buying your dream house that might just be in the catchment for the excellent local secondary when your two children, (five and eight), require.

Congratulations, you’re living the middle-class, middle-aged dream. Time to sit back and enjoy it, right? Or, if you’re my husband and I last April, you chuck it all in and move abroad.

To continental Europe, in fact, with absolutely no guarantee about what Brexit will mean for you and the 784,900 other British expats.
