Series 2: 5. Dorset and Derbyshire
Sonali Shah catches up with a couple she helped to make the leap from a suburban town to the beautiful Dorset countryside. They have subsequently redressed their work-life balance and their vast, historic home has also become a rural getaway for visiting friends and family. The visit ends at the village pub, where one of them now works part-time serving the locals. Later, Sonali travels to Derbyshire where she is reunited with a buyer who moved to the county to be closer to her son and grandchildren. To experience a little of their country life, Sonali accompanies them on family outing to the National Tramway Museum in Crich.
