The presenter revisits rural Carmarthenshire, where mum Helen, dad Ash, their two sons Ben and Joe, plus a small menagerie of animals relocated from Reading. With 18 acres to manage, animals to rehome and plans to attract glampers to the site, it required a serious amount of work and commitment from the whole family. Kate returns to see the hard graft that's gone into this new life.

Fifteen months since her last visit, Kate catches up with a couple who sold their Hemel Hempstead terraced home and moved to a traditional Welsh farmhouse in Pembrokeshire.

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.

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.

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?
