Back in the 90s, Abz Love was a rapper in successful boyband 5ive. Now he and his girlfriend singer-songwriter Vicky Fallon want to start a new self-sufficient life in the country. Armed with advice from the green residents at Lammas - a Welsh eco village - they start hunting for smallholdings and fall in love with a remote farm that needs renovating. Undaunted by the scale and cost of the work, they take their first steps by purchasing some livestock at auction.
City couple Abz Love and his girlfriend Vicky Fallon have their dream of a new life in the country dashed when their mortgage falls through. A smallholding that comes up for auction keeps their plans for living a self-sufficient green life alive. Leaving the music business and city life behind them, they move into their new property in a remote Welsh valley, only to discover that the land is beset with problems.
City couple Abz Love and his girlfriend Vicky Fallon are intent on living a self-sufficient life, but with barely any money and even less know-how, their first winter tests them to their limits. By selling everything they own, they are able to start work on draining the land and restoring the polytunnel and garden plot. Their new neighbours in the valley all rally round - supplying know-how, chickens and much-needed help as the first signs of spring appear.
This Christmas special catches up with rapper turned smallholder Abz Love and his girlfriend Vicky Fallon, as a tumultuous year on the farm draws to a close. Over a Christmas drink by the tree, they reflect on the highs and lows of their new life. We see how their green money-making schemes - from rock-star eggs to alpaca rearing - fared and get a real insight into the hard graft of farming a small holding. With no money in the bank but big plans for growing a new crop that will sustain them, Abz resorts to selling everything he owns on eBay. Over an astonishing few days, the auction for his Brit Award attracts bids of over £1 million, and as Christmas approaches, Abz and Vicky are optimistic about the future, bursting with plans and fully committed to their new lifestyle and the friends they have made in their wet little corner of Wales.
