Ginny Buckley heads into the great British countryside to discover how rural retirement plans are panning out for two couples. First, she makes her way to Derbyshire's Peak District to meet a husband and wife who bought one of the beautiful properties they were introduced to on their 2018 Escape to the Country journey. They had high hopes for a garden with a pond, but Ginny finds out that pond life has now taken a back seat as they've welcomed a new member to the family. Later, she makes her way south to catch up with a fun-loving pair who originally planned to move to the Shropshire countryside. Ginny finds that their leap to the countryside may have landed them in a different spot, but it's still a far cry from their former lives in the city suburbs.
