A NEW LIFE

A The Farmer

Matt Froggatt used to be an insurance agent in the City of London but now runs a sheep farm.

"After 14 years in business, I found that the City had gone from a place which was exciting to work into a grind-no one was having fun any more. But I hadn't planned to leave for another five or ten years when I was made redundant. It came out of the blue, but it made me take a careful look at my life.

It meant leaving all our friends, but we've been lucky in that our friendships have survived the distance plenty of them come up and visit us now."

C The Hatmaker

After working for five years as a company lawyer, Katherine Goodison set up her own business in her London flat, making hats for private clients.

"My job as a lawyer was fun. It was stimulating and I earned a lot of money, but the hours were terrible. I realised I didn't wan
