With more and more city-dwellers deciding to up sticks and move to the countryside, author Sally Coulthard joins Jimmy on the farm to discuss what to expect when making the big move.

Sally, who writes a column for Country Living, moved from London to a rural farm in Yorkshire fifteen years ago, swapping the urban lifestyle for fresh air, a gentler pace of life and....chickens.

Hear why nearly half of all people who move to the country end up returning to the city, practical advice for those considering the move, and the unexpected perks of living closer to nature.
