The presenter returns to Shropshire to meet the Goldby family, who traded in life in suburban Epsom for a quiet hamlet. Has balancing the day job with home schooling and the daily routine of running a smallholding been a step too far or the very essence of the good life?

Kate revisits Georgie and Robin Monaghan, who traded in their suburban home in Worthing, East Sussex, for a detached house in the village of Shebbear in Devon. The couple had plans to convert the outbuilding into a holiday let and develop an allotment and rear hens to live a more sustainable life, but with work and occasional commuting, plus two young boys to raise, it wasn't going to be without its challenges, especially when they were thrown a very complicated cancer-shaped curve ball.

Kate revisits Sam and Lucy Auger-Forbes, who trade in their suburban home in Rochford, Essex, for their very own woodland and a very different life in rural Suffolk. Sam had plans to use the woodland as the centre of a bird photography and bushcraft business, while with Lucy working locally it would mean less time on her stressful commute and more time together as a family with their son Harvey.
