ESCAPE TO THE COUNTRY

Village life suits Hayley and Alex perfectly. It’s not surprising, though, as their pretty thatched cottage is in an idyllic Dorset hamlet, surrounded by fields and woodland and not far from the sea. They haven’t always been country converts, however. Hayley and Alex moved here from central London, and before that Alex had lived in Glasgow. Taking the decision to move to the country became much easier when the couple found their ideal country home.
