A Life More Wild - Series 1
Series one of A Life More Wild took us to some fabulous places to meet some fascinating people. We cooked on the beach with Gill Meller, got rained on with Megan McCubbin, baked in the sun with Alex George and… passed on jumping into a freezing river with Sian Lewis. We also spoke to some of our owners to hear their stories of setting up in the countryside.
