Build a New Life in the Country

Dumfries (3x3)

Air date: Jun 14, 2007

Following a heart attack scare aged 29, workaholic Mick Wilmer from Grimsby needs a complete change of life. He’s given up his job in a chemical plant to move to the rugged south west coast of Scotland with his wife Jenny and their two children. Their dream is to set up and run a small farm, and build a home from the ruins of a 600 year old farmhouse. Their budget is a mere £90,000 pounds, which quickly disappears, leaving the family with rising debts, and Mick facing exhaustion as he battles night and day to hold onto their dream.
