When a former soap star and his family swap city life for 120 acres of Peak District farmland, the romantic dream quickly gives way to muddy reality. This candid account chronicles the Fletchers' chaotic journey into farming, where picturesque countryside meets the harsh truths of livestock, broken machinery, and relentless weather.

Balancing marriage, young children, and the steep learning curve of running a working farm, the family navigate disasters and triumphs with equal measures of determination and humour. From birthing lambs in the early hours to wrestling with ancient tractors, their story captures the genuine challenges and unexpected joys of rural life.

Both heartwarming and refreshingly honest, this is an entertaining glimpse into one family's bold leap into agricultural self-sufficiency, perfect for anyone who's ever fantasised about escaping to the countryside.
