BBC's 'Escape to the Country' presenter Jules Hudson has shared insights into his personal journey from city dweller to countryman.
The 54-year-old, who grew up in urban settings and felt increasingly "very claustrophobic" amidst the hustle of London, made the leap to rural living back in 2012.
Jules, along with his family, swapped their metropolitan existence for a sprawling mansion surrounded by the verdant countryside of Hertfordshire. In an interview with The Times, he confessed that while he enjoyed the vibrant pace of city life, it was in the tranquillity of nature where he found true peace.
The search for the perfect home wasn't without its disagreements between Jules and his wife Tania, but they eventually found their dream property. Reflecting on the move, Jules said: "We knew what we were looking for. Something with space, something with outbuildings. And having its own plot was really important to me."
He further expressed his deep-rooted connection to rural life to the Express, stating: "For me, country life is absolutely who I am, and it's who I was before I came to present Escape to the Country. It's a massive step for lots of people."
Jules also mentioned that the lessons learned through his own transition have equipped him with valuable "tips and tricks" to share with viewers of the show considering a similar change, reports the Mirror.
Absolutely smitten with his serene rural life, he previously told the Daily Express: "it's very much a way of life", and "I absolutely love it, it's a show I'm incredibly fond of. It's very dear to me"
In an intimate conversation with the publication, he shared his vision of the perfect day: "My perfect day is a nice, warm, sunny Sunday with myself, my wife, my son and our dogs
