Based on her hugely popular blog, the story of Judith O'Reilly's decision to give up her glamorous London lifestyle and make a new life for her family in the North of England.
With her husband away in London, Judith realises that she will have to rely on her neighbours for support and starts forging new friendships in the village. But after her baby daughter is born and her lack of status in this rural community becomes all too apparent, Judith begins to miss her old life even more. And her husband's unexpected mid-life crisis purchase brings the experiment swiftly into jeopardy.
