The shoe is on the other foot for Sonali Shah today as she is invited into the homes of two sets of house hunters who are now proud Norfolk residents. She meets a pair of former emergency workers who had set their sights on Norfolk back in 2017 with the hope of creating a more relaxed lifestyle for their family. However, Sonali finds that they are as busy as ever with major renovations to their farmhouse, plus a couple of cows and no less than 121 chickens to care for! Sonali then catches up with a couple who have managed to take things down a gear and are enjoying the pleasures of their rural lifestyle a year on from their house hunt.
