Why did Tom go to live in the country?
I: What made you take off to the country ill the first place, Tom?
T: Well, I suppose anyone who moves to the country wants their life to be different in some way. I mean, if you have always lived in a city, something must happen to make you want to move. In my case, I just couldn’t face going back into an office again when it came to looking for a new job.
I: So you began thinking about the country?
T: No, at first I just thought about getting a different kind of work, social work with kids or old people.
I: And what happened? Why didn’t you?
T: I haven’t got any right diplomas, and it would have taken me two years to be qualified. I was not going back to formal education again.
I: So where did you decide to move?
T: I went right to Shropshire. The first problem though was how I could make a living — there are fewer jobs in the country, so I decided to start up on my own.
I: That’s ambitious. How did you start, had you got any skills?
T: I’d always had a garden and grown some vegetables and flowers, so I thought of a small holding, a kind of farm. But when I looked at the price, I changed my mind.
I: Ok, a farm’s out, so what next?
T: I settled on a nursery and bought my way into a partnership...
I: Well, ladies and gentlemen, don’t go away — we are coming back to Tom’s story after the advertisements.
