Somerset & Leicestershire

Jules Hudson revisits house buyers who have successfully established new lives in the countryside. First, he finds himself back in Somerset with a couple whose rural aspirations needed to accommodate their own needs, plus those of their parents. Visiting the day before a local beer and cider festival, he earns a brew by helping the neighbours set up for the event, but not before checking out the wonderful home he helped them to find. Later, Jules travels over towards the east of the country to meet a husband and wife at their impressive new home, where he discovers how their move away from a large urban town has helped strengthen family ties.
